...Shaken not stirred

How much did we say was the authorized limit when drinking and driving? And when does your driving ability is truly altered? Better, how much does high alcohol blood level influences your ability to drive an Aston Martin DB5 or a BMW Z3 charged with rockets, automatic weapons, and bombs while chasing down dangerous terrorists who plan to dominate the world? These are questions to be answered by the never ageing secret service agent of her majesty’s Queen of England, Mr. James Bond. Because god knows how many of the taxed money he has spent on Dom Perignion champagnes and on non-stirred vodka martinis in order to keep his image high and England… proud. Here is the complete statistical analysis of all the drinks consumed by '' Oh! James…'' per film. On the list we included the informal '' Never say never again '' with Sean Connery (1983).

Champagne 32 Vodka martini 20 Red Wine  9 White Wine 2 Vodka shots 9 Scotch whiskey 4 Bourbon 3 Brandy 3 Rum 2 Sake 2 Beer 1 Glue wine 1 Japanese Whiskey 1 Mohito 1 Ouzo 1  Porto 1 Raki 1 Rum Collins 1 Sherry 1 Fizzy wine 1

  A total of 101 drinks in 21 films, and if we divide the drinks per film time that Mr. Bond has been appearing on the silver screen, this means that he has one drink every 25 minutes…on top of that he has a license to carry a gun and kill! It is by now clear that his favorite drink is vodka martini and it occupies 20% of his alcoholic consummation (is you add the shots of vodka he had between gunshots and his sexual adventures it exceeds the 25%). However we should not forget the champagne, a different class drink that 007 drank 32 times in 20 films. His favorites are Dom Perignion (7 times) and Bollinger (16 times). We now pass to the actors that played the legendary 00 agent and first with George Lazenby who in spite of being 007 only once he has a higher consummation rate of alcohol against Roger Moore (7 films) who has the smallest. From the villains the only one who drinks as much as Bond is Franz Sanchez (in License to kill), who had 4 drinks of 3 different kinds… by the way 19 times champagne is the drink that prevails right before 007 does makes his check mate move towards the present Bond girl. Let’s see what will the new (blond) James Bond, Daniel Craig in the new film Casino Royal, will accomplish with his alcohol intake. Lest we forget that alcohol is free everywhere at casinos!
