Withnail and I/Drinking Game

All The Tropes and Miraheze are not responsible for any damages that result from drinking games,
including but not limited to damages to your liver and other people's cars.

Drinking game for Withnail and I:

• Match the characters drink for drink. This involves nine and a half glasses of red wine, half a pint of cider, one shot of lighter fluid, two and a half shots of gin, six glasses of sherry, thirteen glasses of whisky and half a pint of ale. And, for the lucky, a trip to the nearest hospital. (The unlucky get to go the morgue instead.) Players are usually allowed to substitute vodka or another spirit for the lighter fluid.
  • Though if you're out to match Richard E Grant, you should use vinegar, since that's what was used for lighter fluid in the final take.

Alternatively, if liver poisoning isn't your thing:

• Take a shot every time Withnail swears.
• Take a shot whenever Paul McGann is shirtless or in his underwear - and do another if Uncle Monty is in the room.
  • Do a double if it's Richard E Grant in a state of undress.
• Take a shot whenever there's a homoerotic moment.
• Take a shot when Paul McGann waxes rhapsodic in his narration.
• Whoever makes a joke relating to Doctor Who has to drink a shot of vinegar, double if it's during the phone box scene.
• Whoever quotes along with the film must finish whatever is in their glass.
