Take a bottle of Coke or something like that with you, If you feel your concentration levels dropping then next time it is safe drink some. The sugars / caffeine should perk you up again. A small bag of sweets work just as well. I would avoid energy drinks though it will most lily look bad to in examiner.

Are you suggesting that he stops and has a drink during his driving test?

its a little known fact that you get extra points if you do a burnout at the start of the test

Nah, he should take both hands of the wheel and just chug it down.

Relax, if you should pass you will do. Not the end of the world if you fail. Just learn from
Your mistakes. Personally I chatted to my examiner, the first guy i had was extremely untalkative which put me on edge, as i drive better while not directly thinking about it. The guy i had on my third time, was chatting to me and my instructor in the back. The atmosphere was so relaxed it was bliss.

Not if he asks the examiner to open it for him. Then he only needs one hand to chug it down. The other hand can alternate between the gear knob and wheel.

So which hand is he going to use to text his gf?

Don't crash.

Actually, the examiner will ask you to pull over in a safe spot several times during a test. IIRC you're expected to apply the handbrake and gear neutral. I'm sure you can take a sip before he tells you to set off again.
