Gmail tackles drunk emailing ...finally!

A screen shot of Mail Goggles.
Always on the cutting edge of innovation, Google has done it once again, attempting to make drunken emails a thing of the past.

Equally dangerous for making your friends think you are a bad speller or a lush, drunken emails can be especially devilish since, unlike a drunk dial, a drunken email will forever linger in your sent items folder for you to read and re-read. Even worse, they can be embarrassingly forwarded to other friends or your sponsor.

So here's the deal: You enable Mail Goggles in Gmail, you choose the days and times you are most likely to be intoxicated (sorry, no "select all" button) and you choose a difficulty level. Every time you attempt to send an email during your specified hours, you'll be prompted to answer a series of math questions to verify your sobriety. Cool, huh?

Next up, a program to keep you from throwing your computer across the room when you can't figure out what 37 + 19 equals.
