Your phone knows when you’re drunk by how you walk

A new study out of Stanford University found that a phone could predict whether or not a person was drunk by using its sensors to monitor their walking for just 20 steps.  And the phones were right more than 90% of the time.

 

The researchers think this could be really useful to keep people safe in the future . . . like telling them when they’re too drunk to drive.

 

Quote, “In five years, I would like to imagine a world in which if people go out and drink at risky levels, they get an alert . . . to protect them from high-risk events like driving, interpersonal violence, and unprotected sexual encounters.”
