Withnail and I drinking game

The Withnail and I drinking game is played while watching that film, and involves matching the title character drink for drink. Note that only consumption visible on screen is counted – while we may know that, for instance, Withnail has just finished a pint of beer there is no need to join him in it if we didn't see him drink it. For planning purposes, a complete list of everything that passes Withnail's lips on screen is presented below. Since drinks of different types sometimes follow in quick succession, in order to keep up it will probably be useful to keep a "buffer" of the next few drinks ready to go at all times.

All told, Withnail drinks roughly 9 1/2 glasses of red wine, 1/2 pint of cider, 1 shot of lighter fluid, 2 1/2 shots of gin, 6 glasses of sherry, 13 whiskeys and 1/2 a pint of ale. Seeing as the whiskey alone would be more than enough to necessitate a trip to hospital for most people, it is only the most hardened fans of Withnail & I who can keep pace for the entire film.
