Today I learned what James Bond's favorite drink was

[George K]

“What was James Bond’s favourite drink?

Not the vodka martini.

A painstaking study at www.atomicmartinis.com of Fleming’s complete oeuvre has shown that James Bond consumed a drink, on average, every seven pages.

Of the 317 drinks consumed in total, his preferred tipple was whisky by a long margin – he drinks 101 in all, among them fifty-eight bourbons and thirty-eight Scotches. He’s pretty fond of champagne (thirty glasses) and in one book, You Only Live Twice (1964), which is mostly set in Japan, Bond tries sake. He likes it: he has thirty-five of them.

Bond only opts for his supposed favourite, vodka martini, nineteen times, and he drinks almost as many gin martinis (sixteen – though most of these are bought for him by other people).”

What's more surprising is that the old sot still managed to get it up.

Allegedly.

Vesper martini. That's a Bond classic.

For such a macho bloke, he doesn't half act like a girl.

I've had far fewer drinks in my lifetime than James Bond did, that's for sure.

@MainerMikeBrown , from Casino Royale:

“Satisfied that his room had not been searched while he was at the casino, Bond undressed and took a cold shower. Then he lit his seventieth cigarette of the day and sat down at the writing-table with the thick wad of his stake money and winnings beside him and entered some figures in a small note-book. ”

THat's 3 ½ packs.

Smoking was sooo cool, and he was good at smoking in a cool way.
