What I found that helped and hurt- caffeine hurt. Sure it was the next best thing to an anointing, but it stretches the vocal chords. I could actually listen to myself on tape and tell when I had caffeinated before hand just from the timbre of my voice.
Also antihistamines - if there's a cold coming on or allergies, I found that using some over the counter thing with guaifenesin helped. The other stuff just dries you out. I was dying of pneumonia once and some prescription strength guaifenesin along with antibiotics made me right again. That was before I learned what was giving me the pneumonia all the time. God was merciful in the way He nurtured my wretched self.
The singers will probably give you better advice than I could about honey and syrups, teas and that sort of stuff. It's probably all good. Dunno, I just found that these two things tended to mess with my voice the most.

I'm one of those 20-40 minute preachers. Does that make me studly?
