Withnail and I

Considering his performance in this film, you’d never guess Richard E. Grant was a teetotaller.

Knocked Up

It takes some serious beer goggles to get Katherine Heigl into bed with Seth Rogan

Blind Date

What a light-weight… Kim Basinger is the perfect blind date – until she has half a shandy, that is,

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Just don’t try and drink Karen Allen under the table.

Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest

What do you do with the drunken sailor? Let him sleep off his hangover while you burn all his rum, if you’re Keira Knightley anyway.

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

We’ve all been there… Getting so drunk that you retrieve your chewing gum from a toilet bowl… Maybe not then.

Leaving Las Vegas

Giving Amy Winehouse a run for her money, Nic Cage spends the entire movie more hammered than a nail at a carpenters convention.

Old School

Don’t let Will Ferrell’s party-loving ‘Frank The Tank’ loose on your mini-bar.

Almost Famous

It might have been a bit more than booze that made Billy Crudup’s Russell Hammond stand on a roof-top and declare that he was a ‘golden god’, but it was still a lesson for us all.

Hancock

Superman is likely to avoid booze as Kryptonite, but Hancock is never one to pass on the bottle.

Back to the Future 3

If only it was that simple in real life; a bit of ‘wake up juice’ (tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, chili peppers, onion and mustard seed) and Doc Brown is sobered up and hangover free.

Push

13-year-old Dakota Fanning gets mortal. Make you feel old? Let’s just hope it wasn’t method acting.

The 40 Year Old Virgin

From a 13-year-old drunk to a 40-year-old… There’s no such thing as maturity when booze is involved.

Superbad

Punch drunk love? Jonah Hill’s Seth gets so blotted that he knuckles the girl of his dreams.

E.T

Wouldn’t it be so much cheaper if you could get passively sloshed in real life? When E.T gets tanked up, so does Elliot – with just the point of a finger.

Mean Streets

By attaching a swinging camera to Harvey Keitel’s Charlie and using a wide-angle lens, Martin Scorsese managed to perfectly recreate the feeling of being smashed. A bit too closely.

Weird Science

A bit too much bourbon and Anthony Michael Hall’s Gary becomes an early model for Kevin Federline.

Sideways
Exactly the reason why you’re meant to use the spit bucket when wine tasting.

Observe and Report

Get your chick this drunk and it’s dangerously close to necrophilia when you get back to the bedroom.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Some people would argue that you have to be drunk to get all the way through this flick, but the inebriated person in question here is Brad Pitt’s man boy – someone who definitely doesn’t need ID when getting served.

Casablanca

Humphrey Bogart’s performance is proof that getting slaughtered on a Friday night is no new thing.

“Two weeks ago I was saying, ‘let’s see how it works out,’” director Todd Phillips told reporters. “Now that the movie has really connected, it’s something we’re doing for sure.” Shooting on the sequel will begin as early as Spring 2010 and all four main characters will be returning to have more outrageous fun.”

Well things are certainly moving quicker than with Phillips’ other hit, Old School. The 2003 hit was rumoured to be getting a spin-off way back when, but with Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson’s schedules looking busier that the post-recession bus timetable, it looks like there might not be a school reunion anytime soon.
