Researchers have said that James Bond's excessive alcohol consumption is likely to put him at "high risk" of cirrhosis, liver disease, tremors and impotence.
According to the experts, who analyzed 14 novels by Ian Fleming, the iconic spy's preference for "shaken, not stirred" martinis indicate that he suffered from tremors, the Independent reported.
The researchers said that Bond drank more than four times the recommended weekly alcohol limit, which poses a great threat to his health, including early death.
It was found that the spy drank a total of 1,150 units in the books.
Researchers said that Bond might have been unable to stir his drinks because of the persistent shaking of alcohol-induced tremor, making it more socially acceptable to ask for his drinks shaken.
The "light-hearted" study has been published in the Christmas edition of the British Medical Journal.
