][1]Fun piece in the Wall Street Journal from Will Lyons on James Bond’s drinking habits.
Back in the mid Nineties, a short lived men’s food and drink magazine called EatSoup was launched. It was aimed at blokes who had outgrown Loaded and had developed a taste for something more sophisticated than endless lager and bacon butties.
One of its first features involved a journo being told to replicate the eating habits of James Bond as detailed in Casino Royale. After about 48 hours of troughing like 007, the writer was drunk, nauseous, bloated and crying for a spell in a health spa.
It was a great feature idea but proved that Daniel Craig would probably have attracted considerably fewer female fans if he really scoffed like Fleming’s creation.
