Study: British Facebook users drunk in 76% of tagged photos - Holy Kaw!
![]()
Booze in one hand, camera in the other--a common starting point for a night of photo documented debauchery that will inevitably end up plastered across Facebook. Drunken shenanigan pictures have become commonplace on the world’s most popular social network, but Brits take the cake (or cocktail?) when it comes to posting boozehound photos.
Researchers have found that average British Facebook user is intoxicated in 76 percent of the photographs tagged of them on the site. Despite the rampant boozey photo posting, 26 percent still allow all their pictures to be seen by anyone.
“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,” said Rebecca Huggler, co-founder of MyMemory, the site behind the study.
Other uncovered factoids worth toasting (or not) include:
- 93% of respondents have untagged photographs they considered “too embarrassing”
- 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”
