Most men (79%) and the majority of women (65%) said they felt more confident after a drink.

IlliicitEncounters.com’s Jessica Leoni said: “Lots of people in Doncaster are getting ready to properly date again as lockdown ends and many people are going to be a bit rusty after a year of restrictions.

“What better way to get in the mood and put your date at ease by having a few drinks while you get to know each other.

“Beer goggles are a good thing and dating would be so much duller without alcohol. It shows up the real person much more quickly and helps daters to decide early on whether they want to go to second base with a new partner.”
