Can you die of a panic attack?

I have oral argument later this week; my first ever appellate oral argument. Before a real court, I mean, not just a fake panel of law school judges. And holy shit but I'm nervous.

What if I have a panic attack? What if they ask me questions that I don't know the answers to and I stumble and mumble and look like a fool?

Would it be very bad of me to do a shot of Jack Daniels before I head into court for my argument? You know, just to calm the nerves. Although it would be pretty bad if someone smelled it on my breath; hmm, maybe not then.

Fuck, I'm nervous.
