The classic.  Without the cult that sprang up around Withnail’s copious imbibing habits, we would miss out on  a great game (be careful).

THE RULES

Drink Every Time…
- Withnail does.

It really is that simple, however the more egotistical drinkers, would play not only drink when, but drink what Withnail drinks. Try it out, but I would suggest replacing the lighter fluid with something a little less deadly.

The full list goes as follows:
- mouthful of red wine
- “Lighter fluid” (substitute as appropriate, eg with over-proof rum)
- double gin
- finger of cider (with ice)
- finger of cider (with ice)
- finger of cider (with ice)
- glass of sherry
- two big chugs of sherry
- mouthful of sherry
- sip of sherry
- double whiskey
- mouthful of whiskey
- mouthful of whiskey
- mouthful of whiskey
- mouthful of whiskey
- splash of whiskey
- single Teachers
- double Teachers
- double Teachers
- single Teachers
- sip of sherry
- three fingers of ale
- sip of red wine
- gulp of sherry
- small glass of red wine
- sip of red wine
- half glass of red wine
- sip of something white (gin & bitter lemon?)
- sip of red wine
- sip of red wine
- gulp of red wine
- gulp of red wine
- finger of red wine
- finger of red wine
- gulp of red wine (“’53 Margeaux”)
- gulp of red wine (“’53 Margeaux”)
- gulp of red wine (“’53 Margeaux”)
- gulp of red wine (“’53 Margeaux”)

Likely Hangover: Considerable.  Don’t forget that not even teetotaller Richard E. Grant actually drank any of this.  Instead, he did something called ‘acting.’

Our advice: stick to Coke.  Alternatively, good luck, and keep a stomach pump handy.
