Survey finds that almost half of adults would not survive without their phone for 24 hours

Smartphones appear to be more addictive than we all thought: A new survey released Monday found that 47 percent of U.S. adults would not be able to make it 24 hours without one, and four out of five would rather give up alcohol or chocolate in order to get their phone back.

Smartphones ranked below the internet and hygiene when it came to importance in a person's life, but beat out television and coffee. Ninety-one percent said their phone is as important as deodorant and their car.

When it comes to Millennials between the ages of 18 and 24, things become even more bleak: 96 percent said their smartphone was more important than a toothbrush and deodorant. No wonder they turn to their phones; they don't have the ability to smell.

Of course, because this survey was conducted by Bank of America, several of the questions were about mobile banking. You can read the entire survey here.
