If you haven't already, try some simple things first:

1. Keep a paper clip in your hand and "worry" it to release the tension.

2. Find a point on the rear wall of the room and focus on that.

3. Visualize that you're talking with a close friend or relative.

4. Practice these techniques before your presentations.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Don't drink before a presentation. That's just not going to help. Medications called beta blockers are prescribed for this sort of thing, but you'll need a prescription.
