James Bond may routinely get himself in (and miraculously out of) dangerous, life-threatening situations unscathed, but his love of martinis is the culprit that will most likely do him in, CNN reported.

The study, published in the British Medical Journal, suggests that the fictional British spy's drinking habits could eventually lead to his demise, causing him to die from alcohol-related ailemts such as liver damage. Researchers predict he will die by the age of 56.

Graham Johnson of the Emergency Department in Royal Derby Hospital and two other researchers conducted the study on the fictional spy's alcohol intake. They combed through the James Bond book series  - not the films - to measure how much alcohol Bond consumes and what affect that could have on his health.

They found that Bond's weekly alcohol consumptions totaled 92 units a week, which is more than four times what doctors recommend. According to CNN, it is unlikely for a real person who consumes that much alcohol to carry out the complicated tasks and functions as well as Bond does.

According to the study, a unit of alcohol is defined as 10 milliliters or 8 grams of pure ethanol in the United Kingdom. For some perspective on that, a bottle of wine is nine units, and a pint of beer is three.

According to the Telegraph, the most booze he drank in one day was 49.8 units.

The number of units bond consume may be even higher as that finding could actually be" the low end of the truth."  According to researchers, researchers have shown that "people generally underestimate their alcohol consumption by about 30 percent."  

Which mean the secret agent could be drinking way more than "the large quantities portrayed in the books," according to CNN.

Researchers also found that the super-agent had just 12.5 alcohol-free days out of the 87.5 days he was able to drink and frequently drove while intoxicated.

Researchers concluded that Bond's drinking habit put him at risk for high blood pressure, depression and premature death. They said he is 1.74 times more likely to die and 2.33 times more likely to die from stroke than the average person.

"This consistent but variable lifetime drinking pattern has been reported in patients with alcoholic liver disease," study authors wrote.

Excess alcohol consumption can lead to several serious health conditions in the long term, like damage to the liver. In the short term, heavy drinking can result in alcohol poisoning.

Alcohol is responsible for 2.5 million deaths worldwide.  alcohol poisoning, liver cirrhosis, injury and malignancy are the tcause of most alcohol-related deaths.
