#TRENDING 8/19/20: Your Phone Knows When You're Drunk by How You Walk

Your Phone Knows When You're Drunk by How You Walk

It's entirely possible at this point that our phones know us better than we know ourselves.

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."
