Got a call from a drunk buddy of mine the other day. I spend the
whole time responding to his drunk rambling "Uh huh. Hmm. Ok.
Great. I see." I can't stand drunks (especially when I'm one of
them).
The idea is to install a link between already existing smart phone
breathalyzers and the calling
mechanism on your phone so when
you say "Call Drrr Rrrrummmalkk thureee" the phone says "Your
blood alcohol level is above that allowable to call that person.
You may still call emergency services due to an alcohol related
mishap if necessary."

Maybe the level of sozzledness can be inferred from the
detailed data from the accelerometer, touchscreen etc rather
than requiring specialist hardware? |

I'm told that some old mainframe OSes would look at the
precise timing of password entry in this kind of way. |

"So Phil-- Why is that phone chained to your ankle?" |
|

" I have to be drunk in order to use it, it is just too embarrassing to use sober." |
|

" and this is going to prevent another DUI?" |
|

"that's what the judge said" |

Oh yeah - DUI ... Dialing Under the Influence. |
