Det engelska månadsmagasinet Men's Health lät i början av 1997 läkare
och psykologer studera James Bond, hans liv och leverne.
Resultatet blev alarmerande: Bond är död eller döende, paranoid, impotent
och alkoholiserad.
Psykologen Mike Berry har gjort en psykologisk profil med bakgrund i
att Bond blev föräldralös vid 11 års ålder (föräldrarna omkom i en
bergsklättringsolycka), förlorade oskulden på en bordell i Paris vid 16 och dödade
sin första älskarinna, madame Martha Debrandt, året därpå. Berry är hård
i sin bedömning: "Bond är en känslomässigt hämmad psykopat av typen A
som lider av posttraumatisk stress." "Störningarna var ett faktum
redan i barndomen", fyller professor Bruce Pitt i.
Bonds dagliga alkoholkonsumtion - en vodka martini, en cocktail, whisky,
vitt vin och bourbon - har medfört att han inte längre klarar av att sköta
sitt jobb i Secret Service. Spriten bör också ha lett till "häftiga
lynnesutbrott och ett krympande av könsorganen".
Alkoholen har dessutom skadat hans lever så att den inte klarar av att bryta
ned östrogen, det kvinnliga könshormonet. Bond börjar få bröst och har
dessutom blivit impotent.
Hans sexuella utsvävningar gör honom också till "en provkarta på
sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar". Då har vi ändå inte nämnt Bonds
omfattande rökning!
Det blev alltså varken Dr. No, Goldfinger eller Blofeld som tog död på
James Bond, utan hans egna levnadsvanor! Så kan det gå.
Novel Statistics “I take a ridiculous pleasure in what I eat and drink.”—James Bond This section takes an in-depth look at the literary James Bond’s drinks of choice. Here is the total number of drinks consumed by Commander Bond in Ian Fleming's novels and short stories:
Bond’s drinks per-page ratio is one drink every seven pages (using the book lengths from the Signet paperbacks). Bond is clearly a whiskey man, and throughout the novels he drinks 101 of them. Bourbon is his favorite liquor, and that doesn't even count 007's frequent enjoyment of doubles. Bourbon handily defeats scotch whisky, 58 to 38. Sake comes in second, but this is entirely due to the vast amounts Bond drinks in just one novel, You Only Live Twice. Like his film counterpart, the literary 007 loves champagne. (On six occasions he has pink champagne.) Given that many of his 30 drinks of champagne were full bottles or portions of bottles (equaling at least another 30 glasses), champagne is clearly the literary Bond's second choice after whiskey. (For more on the way we tally drinks, see How We Count.) Among his preferred brands:
The vodka martini places at a somewhat lowly fifth place. Throw in gin martinis (as well as a few undetermined ones), and the martini total rises to a very respectable 41, even topping bourbon as a drink of choice. Bond has a total of 30 drinks containing vodka. The first novel in which Fleming uses the phrase "shaken and not stirred" is Diamonds Are Forever (although Bond does not actually say it until Doctor No). There is something of a popular myth that the only reason James Bond is known as a vodka martini drinker is because of the placement of Smirnoff vodka in the film version of Dr. No. This is not true. Unlike his film counterpart, the literary Bond does drink gin martinis. However, 10 of the 16 gin martinis he drinks are prepared or ordered for him by other people (eight of them by Felix Leiter, who is definitely a gin martini man). The six that Bond orders for himself are consumed (three at a time) on just two separate occasions. Time and again, Fleming's 007 displays a clear preference for vodka martinis. By the way (to shoot down another myth), Bond drinks only one martini containing both vodka and gin, the Vesper in Casino Royale. When he’s not enjoying alcohol, 007’s favorite drink is coffee. He drinks tea (which he normally abhors) in You Only Live Twice. Bond’s women also share his taste for a good drink. Vesper Lynd and Tiffany Case are easily able to keep up with 007 (and it’s intimated that Vesper drinks a great deal more):
Felix Leiter is 007’s best drinking buddy. He prefers Haig and Haig scotch, bourbon, and gin (never vodka) martinis:
Bond has a number of friends and allies that share his tastes:
By the way, M has eight drinks: five in Moonraker, two in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and one in The Man with the Golden Gun. Finally, Bond’s opponents tend not to drink very much, if at all (Goldfinger, Blofeld and Scaramanga are all confirmed teetotalers). Several times during the later novels, Fleming opines that professional criminals don’t drink or smoke. The villain who drinks the most, Hugo Drax, appears to be a borderline alcoholic.
In Diamonds Are Forever, Wint and Kidd also have one drink each. While not a textbook villain, Milton Krest from “The Hildebrand Rarity” is a very heavy drinker. |
“The target of my books lay somewhere between
the solar plexus and the upper thigh.”
