Use the acceleromter to test if the user is able to stand up straight.

Riding on the bus/train can cause a lot of wobbling around. How well can an accelerometer-based system distinguish this from drunkenness?

It doesn't. That is a bonus feature for all the other people on the bus.

even worse, drunk people on a bus might hit the perfect storm where the swaying cancels out and lets them through!

this feature request reminds me of my old (loved) email client that detected drunk emails and quietly filed them for sober review
