How to cure dry voice from whisky? Water not working
I drink whisky with a high percent of alcohol (45%) to deepen my voice but today it just dried out my voice & my voice is stuck in a female range. What's the quickest way to moisturize my throat?
I drank a whole bottle 500mL of water & my voice is still creaky.

What gender are you? (For comparison, I'm a female who can sing a low C.)

Don't. Just. Plain. Don't. You will destroy your vocal cords in short order. Take lessons and learn proper breath control.

Also, how old are you, and why do you think it'd be horrible to be a tenor?

24 male & I'd classify my voice as contralto right now. :-(

I think you should get off the expectation that your voice, a complex and intricate part of your body, is a viable target for that kind of sledgehammer quickfix in either direction.
Keeping hydrated is a good longterm strategy for keeping your voice in working order. But it's not like you can undo prolonged intentional damage at the drop of a hat in that manner.
This sounds like "smoking a lot for a deeper voice gave me lung cancer. Which mountain's air should I best breathe now to fix it? I tried Mt Fuji but it didn't help and I spent more than an hour there."
Maybe you should be seeing a physician rather than StackExchange?
I only tried 1 sip of whisky daily for a week. The one sip deepened my voice according to a voice pitch app so far, but today the throat feels dry & squeaky. I never thought this was a way to deepen voice in the longterm but for now I can't afford voice training but my feminine voice irks me.

You've now complained twice about having a "feminine" voice. I think you may need some counseling about gender identification far more than music issues. Vocal range has next to nothing to do with gender.

@CarlWitthoft Cause my voice is so feminine I get misgendered all the time on the phone & girls don't find it attractive. What kind of vocal coach can help me learn to deepen?
