Apologies for taking thread in a darker direction but when it comes to greatest drunk acting is has to be Nicholas Cage in ' Leaving Las Vegas '. Such a powerful performance and my god every time I've watched it, it puts me off booze. The irony being that I'm hardly the world's biggest drinker. Fancy sailing through dry January? Watch this late December and it will be a doddle!
I had forgotten about this film. I went to St Andrews to visit some mates while at university. We all bought a bottle of wine each and sat to watch that film. At first the banter was flying, by the end you could have heard a pin drop and everyone was staring morosely into their full glasses with no one drinking any more.
Didn’t last long too be fair we were soon back on it but I’ve never forgotten that moment!
