Confirmation of on set drinking whilst commiserating over the shitshow during production:

"Bob used to get special whiskey sent from England—single malts—and we would drink those copiously in his caravan." - Fiona Shaw (Lena)

I've heard he was good and drunk every day of filming just to get through it. It saddens me because IMO the result was pretty damn good largely because of him, I wish he'd have been able to enjoy making it as much as I've enjoyed watching it.

Doesn’t help that he suffered numerous injuries:

"If you're going to survive this film, you're going to have to be very, very careful [...] I got stabbed four times. Electrocuted. Broke a finger. Nearly got drowned."

The finger was due to Leguizamo's inexperienced driving skills. Slammed the brakes on a van with an open door onto Hoskins' hand.
