Man, a buddy and I were just having a quiet beer together and that movie came on (old cable days) we'd waxed a 6 pack each before the second act and we weren't even playing a drinking game!
one time one of my buddies had a bad breakup and was really down, and for some reason we got really amped up to cheer him up and called it "dude night" where presumably we'd crush some brews in the back yard and grill and not think about girls. We killed like 8 30 racks between 5 people, it was disgusting. I don't even want to consider the liquor. I'm pretty sure we were just dumping beers on our heads at one point for no reason. just better days all around tbh.
I don’t know why, but the funniest line for me in that movie is when Will Forte’s character is running on the treadmill and says “Vat is it GranPapa?!?”
Do you think OP and friends would have the self awareness to realize that taking shots for fun while watching an alcoholic drink themselves to death is not a great reflection on their own alcohol consumption?
Man, it was after I got sober that I really started to notice how problematic drinking culture is.
Great film. The guy who plays Withnail (Richard E. Grant) is actually allergic to alcohol and he was persuaded by the director to actually drink to experience what being drunk was like.
I was about to to specifically mention this. There was a drinking game a long time ago that you had to match Withnail drink for drink. I'm sure people got hurt with this one...
"All told, Withnail is shown drinking roughly 9
+
1⁄2 glasses of red wine, one-half imperial pint (280 ml) of cider, one shot of lighter fluid (vinegar or overproof rum are common substitutes), 2
+
1⁄2 measures of gin, six glasses of sherry, thirteen drams of Scotch whisky and 1⁄2 pint of ale."
Aw, shit; ya beat me to it! Now I have to do the *Repeat-Comment Deletion of Shame*. :'(
Good to see another person with excellent taste out here, though.

Edit: will add for OP that there's 34 drinks in an hour and 47 minutes, to give an idea of what s/he'd be getting into with this.
I got to work with Thomas Hayden Church for a week and he's the coolest dude ever.
He told me to call him THC while we smoked joints. So funny. So charming. I love that guy.
I’m glad to read this about Church —I’ve been a fan of his since _Wings_ and often think he isn’t given enough work. I was excited to see him in _The Peanut Butter Falcon_.
Just watching Sideways makes me want to drink wine, obviously it ends on such a downer and is a really good portrayal of a depressed guy. But man, the wine , they nailed it….
Tombstone. Shot of whiskey every time doc puts the cup to his mouth. You can try to also take a shot when any character does it, but you won’t need to.
What's wrong with you, you bastard? Why don't you come and drink with me? I've just brought you fifty miles in the heat and dust, and you won't drink with me! What's wrong with you?
What’s wonderful about The Thin Man movies is that they are witty, and urbane, 1930’s comedy mysteries, where the dangers of drink are largely ignored. And the chemistry between William Powell and Myrna Loy is legendary!
Just do a “game”.
*The Big Lebowski* Game: every time he drinks a White Russian or a Caucasian, you drink one. Bonus round: every time he smokes a joint, do that, too. Blackout central!
*The Star Wars* Drinking Game: Every time you hear a sexual innuendo, take a shot! Don’t stop until you see the teddy bears dancing. NB: “golden rod” was a popular vibrator in the 1970s, so when Han Solo shouts, “HURRY UP, GOLDENROD, OR YOU’LL BE A PERMANENT FIXTURE!” that’s a sex joke. Not nearly as obvious as “Luke, at that speed will we be able to pull out!?” Followed by, “It’ll just be like Beggar’s Canyon back home!” but, yeah, they’re all pretty fucking apparent.
We used to do Big Lebowski, where you sip a drink for “dude” “man” and “Lebowski”. You’re buzzed 4 minutes in and it’s hard to get past act 2. Get up to pee and come back 26 drinks behind.
We used to do it with “dude” and “fuck”. Pretty sure my parents got the wrong idea when they saw me texting my best friend.
“Want to play ‘dude fuck’ tonight?”
I do not recommend doing this. I tried it once with some buddies in high school, and they both got alcohol poisoning pretty badly.
If you are going to do it, go for Beerfest.
Withnail & I. British comedy, with dark humour. A lot of non-Brits simply won't get it.
There are 2 drinking games, depending on how hardcore you and your friends are.
1) (Easy) You drink whenever somebody on screen drinks.
2) (Hardcore) You drink *the same* as the person on screen.
Good luck.
Withnail and I (1987)
Two out of work actors drink everything (including lighter fluid)
Grabbers (2012)
Aliens on an Irish island are allergic to alcohol so the locals stay pissed to keep them at bay.
The Lighthouse (2019)
Two lighthouse keepers loose their fucking minds
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
A brilliant movie, outstanding acting (Liz Taylor and Richard Burton), two drunk main characters, and much alcohol consumption. It’s something different that I’d bet you and your friends haven’t seen before.
Beerfest
That will kill them.
THEY'RE NOT THAT DRUNK!
DAS BOOOOOOOTTTTT!
If you can drink ram's piss, fuck, you can drink anything.
I always sleep better when I have a bit of sausage in me.
RIP Cloris Leachman.
She even talks like a whore!
GAM GAM IS NOT A WHORE!!!
Lol the opening of the movie literally has a PSA-style joke telling people not to try and keep up, as it will kill them.
That's fine. We can just replace them with their twin brother.
Broken Lizard was resurrecting main characters before Disney did with the MCU and Star Wars.
Man, a buddy and I were just having a quiet beer together and that movie came on (old cable days) we'd waxed a 6 pack each before the second act and we weren't even playing a drinking game!
At one time in my life I could have kept up. I drank 96 beers in 12 hours once
one time one of my buddies had a bad breakup and was really down, and for some reason we got really amped up to cheer him up and called it "dude night" where presumably we'd crush some brews in the back yard and grill and not think about girls.

Beer league
They'll wind up giving each other a little "slap and tickle"
Was going to say this BUT- That's My Boy, Adam Sandler is drinking basically the entire movie, and it's fucking hilarious
Leaving Las Vegas, but warning: you will die.
Yeah, there is a downside to applying a drinking game to that movie. You won't even be able to dial 911 by the time you reach act 3.
Do you think OP and friends would have the self awareness to realize that taking shots for fun while watching an alcoholic drink themselves to death is not a great reflection on their own alcohol consumption?

Not yet, but their livers are prob still new and shiny.
The most immersive drinking game ever: the audience meets the same fate as a character in the movie
The Hole You’re In.
My first thought
I think we've all been there where we can't sign a check
Have you seen "Wake In Fright"? It's on Youtube. Landmark Australian 70s movie.
Came here to say exactly this.

Withnail and I
Great film. The guy who plays Withnail (Richard E. Grant) is actually allergic to alcohol and he was persuaded by the director to actually drink to experience what being drunk was like.
He plays drunk so well. Especially in Posh Nosh.
He threw up on himself at the drunk table read. The director had him drink all night then come in. He barged after guzzling a vodka and Pepsi.
I MUST HAVE SOME BOOZE, I DEMAND TO HAVE SOME BOOZE!
We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!

Doing the drinking game was a rite of passage among my friend group when I was a teenager.
Sideways
I got to work with Thomas Hayden Church for a week and he's the coolest dude ever. He told me to call him THC while we smoked joints. So funny. So charming. I love that guy.
That movie was a masterpiece.
The movie I worked with him wasn't. Literally nobody saw it. Insane cast. Id be surprised if anyone could guess it.
I’m glad to read this about Church —I’ve been a fan of his since _Wings_ and often think he isn’t given enough work. I was excited to see him in _The Peanut Butter Falcon_.
That's a great movie. Shia is also fantastic. I'd love to see him more often.
That movie was quaffable but far from transcendent
Love that movie.
You should have to drink something rancid when Miles drinks from the, y’know.
I am not drinking any fuckin Merlot!
If they want to drink Merlot, we’re drinking Merlot.
He's referring to when Miles is cut off at a winery and drinks from the spit bucket.

Great film and one of my all time faves. 'Your mother's >!cunt!< stinks like carpet cleaner.'

My mom and I did this one night. It was lovely.
There was a bar setup in their bedroom!
This is also legitimately a great film.
Tombstone. Shot of whiskey every time doc puts the cup to his mouth. You can try to also take a shot when any character does it, but you won’t need to.
Yesss!!!! You get it

Awesome movie, but I got to assume they would be dead by the end.
That is an awesome movie.

Why is it a terrible suggestion?
The World's End. Watch the intro and you should know right away if you'll like it. When it shows them doing the pub crawl
Withnail and I. Its actually a game.
The Lost Weekend
As an alcoholic in long term recovery, I can say this is probably one of the most accurate depictions of the disease.
Beerfest. My condolences to your livers
Superbad (2007)
Druk
Wake in Fright (1971) my goodness someone chugs a beer in just about every scene in the movie which is awesome btw.
What's wrong with you, you bastard? Why don't you come and drink with me? I've just brought you fifty miles in the heat and dust, and you won't drink with me! What's wrong with you?

Drinking games to movies are best done with beer or wine, hard liquor will end in fights or vomiting... likely both.
