Doctors have scrutinized James Bond, the hero of Ian Flemming. With 92 units of alcohol per week, Mister Bond is an alcohol addict.
According to English doctors, James Bond, the famous British spy of Ian Fleming, is a die-hard alcoholic! Indeed, with 92 units of alcohol on average per week, the agent nicknamed “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”. “There is only one indication of alcohol consumption off-ward,” writes Dr Patrick Davies, a pediatrician at Nottingham Public Hospital, and lead author of the study. Except that when he is on a mission, James Bond tends to raise his elbow without moderation or precaution.
Ian Fleming would even have, according to these authors, insert in his novel subliminal messages referring to the alcoholism of his hero. For example, in reality, Martini-Vodka cocktails must be mixed with a spoon and not passed through a shaker to be shaken, as 007 calls for each time. 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
Indeed, the World Health Organization places at 210 grams per week (or 3 glasses of wine per day) the limit beyond which consumption is considered excessive. It becomes “at risk” from 280 grams and “harmful” beyond 420 grams.
Thus, “James Bond’s weekly alcohol consumption is four times higher than the maximum desirable dose for an adult man,” underlines Dr Patrick Davies.
Authors’ conclusion, 007 presents a “considerable risk of developing liver disease, cirrhosis, becoming impotent or having other health problems related to alcohol, or of seriously injuring oneself and dying as a result. of his alcoholism ”.
“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”, conclude the doctors.
