    Actually I'm pretty sure he drank other things in various books. Lager, Wine & also Vodka with peppercorns (to take away the Diesel taste)

    The shaken not stirred is in just one but caught the public imagination.

    I want the heineken Bear to get a cameo role!

      Somebody with too much time on their hands did a count. He was mostly a whisky drinker, but enjoyed the occasional martini. Just like me in fact.

        From the article that kicked this thread off:

        The topic of Bond and beer has been tackled before. Kingsley Amis, writing under the pseudonym William Tanner in his now out-of-print Book of Bond, gave would-be 007s advice on which lager could be drunk in specific situations:

        "You drink it occasionally; In Geneva, a Löwenbräu; in the States, a Miller's High Life, a couple of Red Stripes in Jamaica and as many as four steins of local brew in Munich if you find yourself with an ex-Luftwafffe pilot. But eschew English beer. It, like cider, belongs in pubs and 007 does not."
        Methinks Kingsley Amis had that wrong. You wouldn't drink Löwenbräu in Geneva. It comes from Munich (and when I was there we avoided it in favour of other local brews).
        Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

          Unfortunately they decided that I am too handsome, and that the franchise 'would have nowhere to go with future lead actors'.

              That's correct, the book in question by Amis is called the James Bond Dossier, of which incidentally, I have a first edition from the early 60's. Interesting read for any Bond aficionado's.

                  I think this sums up pretty much what was drunk in all the films

                    Maybe his new catchphrase could be "don't shake the tin ffs"?

                      I quite like Heineken. Its not a bad beer for a sunny day, compared to Stella or the other crap we are forced to drink in the name of lager, and I have to say its easier to drink half a dozen of them than it is to knock back Vespa's all knight

                      I broke a permie project manager in the Sanderson last year after he wondered if they did any off menu stuff. A few minutes later after several hundred quids worth of spirits to the worse I shovelled him into a cab and buggered off for a real pint. He on the other hand went missing for the next few days with hangover issues
