Four out of 10 had been tipsy when sleeping with a partner for the first time.


The study revealed that 75 per cent of women liked to drink before getting into bed with their husband or boyfriend, and 6 per cent had never had sex sober.

More than half claimed drinking with a prospective partner was ‘part of the dating process’ so were a bit drunk when they had sex.

It also revealed 14 per cent of women in a relationship can' sleep with their partner without a couple of glasses of wine beforehand.
