The BBC recently revealed a scientific study which came to the conclusion that Bond, in reality, would be a lowdown drunkard. It's not really surprising as he's rarely seen without some sort of alcohol in his hand and his secondary catchphrase is a bloody drinks order. Somehow managing to turn cocktail instructions into a timeless line is certainly impressive, but isn't it a bit worrying that he seemingly can't function without a drink? It's nearly been his downfall many times as his drinks are constantly spiked with both lethal and non-lethal drugs. This should really be a wake up call to the savvy spy in the know, but this is Bond we're discussing. This naivety doesn't really go well with a life of danger where being alert is the only way to avoid a swift death. He's recently even taken to flogging Heineken in his films which makes him both a spokesperson and an addict. No one's saying that 007 is a perfect role model but he doesn't do himself any favours by dulling his senses with liquor. He needs to attend some sort of MI6 detox programme for functioning alcoholics because the way he goes through the grog currently can't end well for him.
