Yup! Listen to Tequila.
They always say alcohol is bad for singers, but there are some benefits.
It's certainly not a good idea to get drunk and then try to perform. We've seen a few rock stars try that and it's not pretty. But, one regular drink can be just the thing to reduce your inhibitions, and help you to sing out with feeling.
I used to tell my adult ESL students that a shot of something strong before class would probably help them to loosen up and speak English better. When I was studying Linguistics at York University, I read about a study that measured the relationship between alcohol consumption and learning a language. They gave people different amounts of alcohol and then measured their performance in a second language, and the optimal amount was 1 1/2 ounces, an average shot.

Here's a link to an article about drinking and learning a new language.
I bet that would work for singing.
