This website catalogs all of the drinking that Bond did in the Ian Fleming books. Some are short stories. Total drinks consumed and type of drink is at the bottom of each page.
This is a good one from "Thunderball", particularly the part about halfway down where Felix Leiter lectures the bartender on his watered-down Martinis. It was a great book, arguably the best.
This is about Ian Fleming:

Ripping. Isn't it true that Fleming's Bond was a lot different than the studly Connery?
Connery was the closest to the Bond in the books but there were definitely real differences. The movies followed the books somewhat closely at first, plot-wise but starting mostly with "Diamonds are Forever", they went off in different directions.
In the movies since Roger Moore and even many of his, the title is the only thing the book and the movie have in common.
Sean Connery is James Bond. No one else ever will be. Period.
Just watched Anatomy of a Murder. Let the record reflect that Floyd the barber plays the role of a medical doctor. I propose that Matthew McConaughey used Paul Biegler as a model for his break out role in A Time to Kill.
Stewart and Remick were outstanding in that film. Great cast of character actors, too. Who knew that Floyd had been a brilliant physician prior to his relocating to Mayberry for the life of a barber?
