Britons 'drunk in three quarters of Facebook photos'

[Jazzy]

Britons admit to being drunk in three quarters of photographs of them posted on Facebook, according to a survey.



On average, adult users of the social networking website said they were under the influence of alcohol in 76 per cent of the pictures in which they were tagged.



With Christmas party season in full swing, more than half of those surveyed said that there were photographs of them on Facebook they would not want colleagues or employers to see, and 8 per cent admitted to appearing in pictures that could get them into serious trouble at work.



Despite such fears fears for their own image online, the poll also found that two thirds of Britons had intentionally tagged friends in embarrassing photos so other friends would be alerted.



Perhaps unsurprisingly, 93 per cent of British Facebook users said they had deleted tags on potentially compromising photos because they were too embarrassing.



Yet many users allow others to access such pictures. A quarter said their account's privacy controls were set to allow anyone to view Facebook photos in which they were tagged and only one in 10 stopped even their friends accessing them. The majority, 58 per cent, said they allow their Facebook friends to view photos in which they were tagged.
