Keep drinking all through the night, staying respectably drunk to not be sober, and also not be too plonked.

a termed used in Ireland and the UK, generally regarding drinking. It means to keep it going, don't stop. can be used for other things than just drink, but generally its said then.

As others have said, used when drinking and when driving cars fast, but heavily used by motorcyclists (due to Northern Ireland having a massive motorbike culture in the 70's 80's and 90's). Keep 'er rubber side down, Keep 'er between the hedges and Keep 'er on the pipe are all other terms that spawned from Keep 'er lit in that community.

Keep going. Do not stop. Used as encouragement. Often used as a parting cry.
Originated from a story about an IRA ambush on the SAS near Cappagh in Co Tyrone when one IRA volunteer remarked to another who was firing on the SAS vehicle "Keep her lit!" meaning to continue firing.
Has taken on common usage among Irish republicans especially in the north of Ireland and Co Tyrone.
Has recently received national focus due to a campaign by radio host Hectoc O hEochagain on RTE 2fm
