Scientists used the devices to locate which users drank and did things right almost every time.
They found that even small amounts of alcohol replaced other people’s way of walking.
And sensitive motion sensors on phones can run into differences.
Lead researcher Dr Brian Suffoletto said: “We have rugged sensors that take us wherever we go.
“We want to be informed about how to use them to better serve public health. “
Volunteers over the age of 21 to 43 were asked to drink several strong vodkas (up to 8 beers) and then walk up and down.
They had the phones attached to elastic waist belts.
Researchers had to identify nine out of ten participants who exceeded the legal limit for alcohol consumption, hours after they stopped drinking.
Dr. Suffoletto, of Stanford University in California, said he was looking for phones to alert his users if they had too much and were in danger.
He added: “I would like to believe in a world where if other people faint and drink at extreme levels, they will get methods to help them prevent and protect them from unprotected driving, violence and sex. “
Of course, the generation is impressive, however, no one should be lectured for being abused from time to time.
When they invent a phone that can cook a fried one the morning after the day before, that’s where we’re going to be interested . . .
