Was James Bond A Boozer?

   A new study by the British Medical Journal suggests 007 was almost always over .08. They went back through all 14 Bond books, and tallied up just how many Vodka martini's (shaken not stirred) the fictional spy drank. And the results are astonishing.
   The journal says with the level of alcoholic intake he had, Bond would not be able to function properly. In fact, their numbers show 007 would have been imbibing 92 alcohol units a week. Put that in perspective, a pint of beer has 2 units. You do the math, the BMJ did!
   Bond's level of drinking would put him at high risk of multiple alcohol-related diseases and an early death, the researchers said.
   In fact, they say his choice on how to mix his favourite drink is a clue as to his inability to function. Proper Vodka martini's are stirred, not shaken, and Bond would likely not be able to even stir one.
   It's just as well he's a fictional character.
