Bah, had a bit of a rubbish day at work yesterday and went to band practice straight afterwards- maybe got a bit too aggressive, and ended up wrecking my voice.. got a gig on friday and I need it back. Rubbish!
What helps soothe a knackered throat with the exception of a cold, sweet pint of gin?

Have you ever shouted too loudly for too long and lost your voice?
Is sounding like a budget blues singer attractive or just a bit creepy?
