A team of British doctors has studied all 14 of Ian Fleming's Bond novels and determined the famous spy drank 4x the recommended amount of alcohol during his adventures. They stated Bond would have had difficulty shooting straight, making quick decisions and getting it on with the ladies after consuming multiple Martinis as depicted.

sonuvabitch...I might be James Bond! Well except for the part about having trouble with the ladies of course.

Hmmm, the only film I remember him being drunk in was Skyfall when he went MIA after the Istanbul incident. The rest of the time he's ordering at most two drinks.

I have a few of the original paperbacks first edition, Bond was loaded no doubt. He was kind of super human though and could have handled all of it shooting and the ladies.

Bond was an extraordinary man. I would have been a lousy Bond since I would have had to pass on some adventures due to hangovers.

Ever notice how when some tool tries to do a cross-over thread joke it turns out really lame?

Not only read, but also catch up on the story online - all of the stories show Connery and Craig ordering drinks. Obviously James Bond is a film icon, I'm going out on a limb and guess no one here has ever read one of Fleming's novels. Notice the OP neglected to post a link.
