One shot shouldn't give someone problems. I was just illustrating the point that in the heart of the Bible Belt, you'd better not even bring up to another lodge member that you drink unless you know for sure the other person does, too. Some jurisdictions have beer/liquor in the lodge. Around here, heads would explode.
As for public speaking, I teach senior English, and that's why I make my students do a three-minute public speaking presentation. If Freemasonry has given me nothing else in 20 years, it has made me comfortable speaking in public. I was doing degree work before I began my career as a teacher, so being up in front of the class was no big deal.
