Daniel Craig's James Bond has drunk the most alcohol but had the least sex
His 007 films have also grossed the most money on average at the cinema
The latest James Bond film, Spectre, is expected to break box-office records in the UK, having grossed $6.4 million on its first night.
Over his 24 cinema outings, 007 has travelled to dozens of countries, killed hundreds of bad guys, slept with numerous women and drunk a lot of alcohol.
While Bond may be a sexist, misogynistic dinosaur (M’s words, not ours), according to data collected by The Economist, Daniel Craig’s Bond has actually been the least successful when it comes to sexual relations.
However, as Bond’s been with less women he’s drunk a lot, lot more. Craig’s martini consumption soars well above the other actors who have portrayed Bond, Roger Moore having downed the least on average throughout his 12-year tenure.
Craig’s films have also grossed the most out of all the Bonds, on average making $835 million.
It was reported earlier this year that since Bond’s decision to drink a Vesper in Casino Royal, Gin consumption in the UK has increased.
Spectre, also starring Christoph Waltz, Monica Bellucci, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris, is in cinemas now.
