Gmail Introduces Drunk-Email Preventer

That's right: it's called "Mail Goggles." When enabled, Gmail will force you to solve a few simple math problems before sending any emails.

You can even set it to a schedule so it's only active on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. And maybe Tuesday and Wednesday too.

Never send an email you regret again! (unless you're a math major)

Go to "Settings," then "Labs" to access.

Simply brilliant.

Just goes to show that Google's policy of 80% company work, 20% individual project can really show results.

Can they please do this for phones too? That would make the morning after so much better for me!

Probably. Email the person who created it and ask them to make a version for Android.

On Phones: I'm pretty sure I saw an article a few years back about some phones in Japan being created with a breathalyzer.
