Licensed to swill: James Bond set to boost vodka sales

007 drinks not vodka, not gin, but martini, but okay...

“James Bond’s level of alcohol intake puts him at high risk of multiple alcohol-related diseases and an early death,” the tongue-in-cheek investigation said.

It added sardonically: “James Bond was unlikely to be able to stir his drinks, even if he would have wanted to, because of likely alcohol-induced tremor.”

Do you think a guy that gets shot at, stabbed at, and thrown out of moving vehicles every other day is going to be scared of being warned by doctors that his drinking level is above average? He's a fictional character for pete sakes.

I think James Bond favorites drink was Dry Martini.

Anyway, I'll stick to the Sake rather than Vodka. If I drink strong one and then I'll drink Hennessy V.S.O.P or Martell V.S.O.P or Suntory Yamazaki Whiskey on the rock. Also I like Gordon Dry Gin with Club Soda in Ice and a slide of Lime. It's very refreshing and rewarding during the hot summer days.

In Thailand, Mekong Run with Club Soda in Ice. Sour, Sweet, Salty and Hot Thai Seafood Salad or any Thai Salad was perfect match with Mekong Run and also Thai Catfish and green vegetable sour soup will clear your throat.

I like Alcohol but not Vodka. It doesn't matter who drink Vodka James Bond or Harrison Ford but for me the important of alcohol was aroma, taste, smoothness, slowly intoxication and not headache in next day.

By the way, I'm not alcoholic. I'm just moderated drinker and 4 or 5 days a week. I enjoy bottle of strong Oak flavored Shiraz or good dry Chardonnay in evening. Life without Alcohol is boring. However, Vodka is not my first and second choice but I'll drink Vodka if I can't get other Alcohol.

Off to get some Grey Goose after reading this!

@Chop Chop"I like Alcohol but not Vodka".

It's a matter of personal taste.

So this movie is basically an advertisement for vodka? Was the movie financed by the vodka industry? Anyway, only Sean Connery is James Bond.

This article is a complete waste of space.

Daniel Craig is the best bond ever and can do whatever he wants.

@anotherexpat"The article is a complete waste of space."

The article says that spies should drink good alcohol.

Blotto nation, blotto Bond. What's the fuss about?
