In fact, in two dozen movies over the past six decades, Bond — James Bond — was seen sipping on alcohol precisely 109 times, according to a new study published in the Medical Journal of Australia. Public health experts at the University of Otago in New Zealand analyzed Bond films from 1962 to 2015 to better understand his patterns of alcohol use. Bond had a “severe” and “chronic” drinking problem — and he performed some pretty risky maneuvers while under the influence of alcohol. The study, entitled “Licence to swill: James Bond’s drinking over six decades,” won joint first place in the Medical Journal of Australia’s Christmas competition. The New Zealand researchers wrote in the recent study that Bond should seek professional help.
