Bond smokes approximately 60 cigarettes a day, usually a mix of Turkish and Balkan tobaccos, with three gold bands on the filter, indicative of his naval rank. He is a heavy drinker. Despite his cinematic preference for vodka martinis, Fleming's Bond prefers whisky. Throughout the books his most common drinks are 25% whisky or bourbon, 11% sake, 10% champagne and 6% vodka martini. Bond's secretary, Mary Goodnight, suggested for Bond this simple if simplistic epitaph: 'I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.'
