Just try not to think too much of playing, usually once you are onstage for a song or two the nervousness goes away.
I've taken cold pills before to mellow me out a bit before playing...a few drinks may not hurt, I've never done that, but I know people who do.
Have fun.
Remember what Linus Tate said (in the sadly underseen movie Bandwagon)
"Do you love the music, or do you love the crowd?"
