London, Aug 24 (ANI): A new survey has revealed that more than a third of young people admit to feeling 'cyber shame' after posting embarrassing photos or posts online while drunk.
Almost half of 18 to 24-year-olds have also 'untagged' drunken photos of themselves from Facebook and Twitter that they did not want others to see, according to the survey by alcohol education charity Drinkaware.
But despite experiencing online embarrassment first-hand, it didn't stop 41 per cent of those polled from uploading a photo of a friend's drunken antics.
Just as many of those surveyed admitted leaving a comment on a social network site about a drunken friend.
The researchers interviewed 502 young people aged between 18 and 24 in England, Scotland and Wales.
"There's nothing wrong with enjoying a few drinks on a night out. But the digital world we live in means that people who have been drinking to excess can have their actions come back to haunt them online," the Daily Mail quoted Chris Sorek, the organisation's chief executive, as saying. (ANI)
