Brits beat everyone when it comes to posting boozehound photos on Facebook.
Researchers have found that average British Facebook user is intoxicated in 76 percent of the photographs tagged of them on the site.
According to a study conducted by photo storage website MyMemory, over three-quarters of photos were taken either with alcohol or after the consumption of alcohol. It was also reported that 93 percent of Facebook users in Britain had de-tagged or deleted photos deemed to show them embarrassingly drunk.
Other uncovered factoids:
- 56% confessed to having drunk photos that they would not want coworkers to view
- 8% had photographs tagged that they thought could cause “serious trouble at work.
The study questioned 1,781 users in total.
“We’re all guilty of going out and having a good time, but nowadays the photos inevitably catch up with us online, so we wanted to look at how much these photos dominate our presence on social media sites,” says Rebecca Huggler, co-founder of MyMemory, which conducted the study.
Huggler points out that many of the photographs with alcohol were taken during special occasions or get-togethers with friends or family. She predicts the holiday season will fuel more photo activity that involves alcohol.
