With his excessive consumption of alcohol, 92 units per week, the most famous agent of His Majesty is exposed to serious and troublesome illnesses. He risks, among other things, impotence!
The myth takes a serious hit! James Bond presents a “considerable risk of developing liver disease, cirrhosis, of becoming impotent or having other health problems related to alcohol, or of seriously injuring himself and dying as a result of his alcoholism.” “.
According to British doctors who publish a study in the Brtish Medical Journal, Ian Fleming’s famous British spy is a die-hard alcoholic! Indeed, with 92 units of alcohol on average per week, Agent 007 has a real problem with alcohol. A consultation with an alcohol doctor would even be necessary, indicate these specialists.
To arrive at this diagnosis, the three British doctors sifted through 12 novels in which Ian Fleming tells the adventures of the British secret agent, to take a precise account of his alcohol consumption. As a result, the secret agent mainly drinks when he is on a mission on behalf of his “gracious Majesty”.
Ian Fleming would even have, according to these authors, insert in his novel subliminal messages referring to the alcoholism of his hero. For example, Martini-Vodka cocktails must be mixed with a spoon and not passed through a shaker to be shaken, as 007 calls for each time. “This gesture of the bartender is surely a reference to the hand tremors induced by alcohol. », Indicate these researchers (see the video below). Because with this very high level of consumption, James Bond undoubtedly takes many risks for his health. It exceeds, in fact, the standards established by the health authorities! Consumption four times higher than the established maximum dose.
Authors’ conclusion: “We recognize that associating with international terrorists (…) can lead to drinking, but we would advise Mr. Bond to consult a specialist (…) and reduce his consumption to less dangerous levels. . “
