According to this new study, British Facebook Users really love their booze, it shows that the average British person is under the influence of alcohol in three-quarters of of his or her tagged Facebook photos. In the new study, Researchers asked British people to reveal how many of their photos on Facebook that showed them drinking alcohol or were taken after consuming alcohol and it was concluded that approximately 76% of their photographs had some connection with alcohol.

“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.

Researchers also looked at their privacy setting. Only 12% of the 1,781 Facebook users who were polled don’t allow anyone to see their photos, while 58% let friends view their pics. A substantial 26% gave access to anyone.

More than half (56%) admit they had “drunk photos” they wouldn’t want co-workers to see and 8% say their photos might cause “serious trouble at work.” An astonishing 93% of the subjects have untagged photos deemed “too embarrassing.” In my opinion some people don’t put embarrassing photos of social networking sites as they want to portray that they are in a league way above them while some users only seem to upload degrading photos.

What about your Facebook photos? Are you concerned about who views them and are they degrading to your character that you could loose your job?
