A new study of 3,000 British women found that about half preferred to have sex while drunk. The study also found that six percent of women have never had sex sober. That might account for your one-night stand last week.

According to the study, the average woman has slept with eight men and - get this - was drunk during sex with at least five of them! And on two of those occasions the women could not even remember the man's name the next morning.

Alcohol seems to give women confidence they might otherwise lack. One in six women said they didn't have the confidence to sleep with a man while sober. Fourteen percent of the women who were in a relationship admitted they could not have sex with their mate unless they had a couple of glasses of wine before jumping in the sack.

The study was conducted by cosmetics company Femfresh (couldn't they come up with a better name?!). The researchers say the results point to a troubling lack of self-esteem in women.
