So I watched Withnail & I the other day and couldn't help thinking that if anyone drank exactly what Withnail drinks in the film when he drinks it, they'd be dead (or at least, I'd be dead). But then, lots of people decide to watch it and drink whenever they do so maybe it's not all that lethal (still, please don't try it, I don't want any of my blog friends dying thanks to me).
Moving along from the drinking aspects, it's probably one of my favourite films. I love strange quirky things and Withnail & I is so surreal in some places that tears just stream down your face with laughter (casing points: fishing with a gun, cooking chickens with teapots and having an incredibly eccentric gay uncle called Monty).
But then, if anyone else out there has seen it (I'm sure some of you definitely have, since it's such a cult film), isn't the ending just a little bit sad? You sort of know that when Withnail wanders off through the park that he isn't going to last much longer. Seriously, anyone who drinks that much alcohol in the space of two weeks is going to suffer from liver failure pretty soon.
Ah well, it's probably just me who feels slightly sorry for his predicament....

Hey Scarlet,
I just wanted to let you know that today I posted on my blog again. I do find that you don't understand the reason for all my websites - It is so very confusing, so sorry!
Withnail and I rocks. Apparently Richard E Grant actually throws up in the early scene when he's trying to warm himself up in the flat by covering himself in deep heat and drinking lighter fluid!! He's a T total in real life and apparently that scene is one of the rare occassions when he's actually had alcohol!! Other great scenes: The bull charge, the perfume covered shoes and getting pulled over by the police.
Nice blog.
