Eric Edmeades argues that authentic, attractive public speaking is innate and can be accessed without alcohol. He observes that many people become better storytellers after a drink because alcohol frees their authentic selves, but contends that similar confident, natural delivery can be learned sober. He notes he has abstained from alcohol for over 30 years and still tells stories comfortably to audiences of varying sizes.

Public speaking is not really something that you have to learn fully. Authentic, natural, attractive delivery is already inside you. Here's my proof for you. What's fascinating about speaking is how many. Have you noticed that you have friends that after they've had two glasses of wine, they're an infinitely better storyteller? Like, they up level their storytelling. Suddenly they're like, and then we went here and we went up the hill, and they're like. And you're like, dude, we're in a restaurant. And then after the third or fourth class, then they. It goes too far. But the point is, is that it's already in people. And what alcohol sadly does for some people is it allows them to take off their human skin and let their authentic selves come and deliver the story. And they feel very comfortable doing that. What I want to suggest to you is that you can learn to do that without the alcohol. I have not had alcohol for over 30 years, and I have no problem going out and telling stories, whether it's a couple hundred people, couple thousand people, or three people around the table. I did not feel like that as a kid. And I easily could have fallen into using alcohol to help me do that, but I didn't, and I'm really grateful for that.
