Is James Bond an alcoholic?

Someone, with obviously not much to do, decided to count every single drink that the famous spy drinks in the entire James Bond books' collection. The result is 317 drinks, meaning one drink every seven pages.

And if you thought that they are all Vodka Martinis, let me tell you that you are wrong. He actually drinks 101 glasses of whiskey (58 bourbons and 38 Scotches to be precise), 38 glasses of Champagne, 37 of Japanese sake, leaving the famous “shaken, not stirred” Martinis at only nineteen.

And this reminds me that I read somewhere that astronomers have recently discovered a great amount of alcohol in our region of the Milky Way. And no, I am not talking about Ireland, but about a giant cloud of methanol that measures almost 470billion kms across! Yes, I know that methanol can poison you, but still, that’s a heck of a lot of alcohol floating about.

So going back to James Bond. Is he, or is he not? Truth is, I don’t know and I really don’t care. As long as they keep casting hunks like Daniel Craig for the movie versions, he can drink the entire Milky Way and I am absolutely fine with it!
