We've all sent emails we regret after stumbling back home late at night in a fog of alcohol-fuelled bravado - a pathetic plea for reconciliation with an old flame, forwarding furry porn to your grandma, or accepting job offers to work at Metro. The sign of an ill-advised night is no longer a traffic cone on your oven the next morning, but something titled 'IVE WANTD TO SAY THIS FOR A LONG TIEM JEREMY' lurking guiltily in your Sent Mail folder.
If only there was some kind of drunkenness detector that could stop you from baring your virtual soul to loved ones and authority figures after a night on the funny juice. Well, now there is.
Google have just unveiled a feature for Gmail called Mail Goggles. It allows you to specify times and days when you fear you might be a bit tipsy (say, after 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays) - and if you try to send an email after that, it'll force you to take a sobriety test. If you're not of sufficiently sound mind to complete some basic arithmetic puzzles...

Of course some of us never drink and email. :innocent:

I took Trig & Calculus drunk and/or stoned and passed it. This wouldn't help me. :(

As long as they don't try to stop drunk posting. If they do that, all boards will be all but empty.

Of course *I* have never succumbed to 'drunk emailing' (shut up Schade!) but the good folks at Google have taken pity on those that tend to do that.

Google is going to own the world I swear...or maybe just save the world from itself.
Sorry if this is a dupe. I looked and didnt see it posted already I swear!

I like the drunk texts that come in at 3 AM asking "can I stop over"
(I said that I like them, not that I ever get them, :banghead: :bawl:)

Theres this hawt blonde I work with and we text back and forth all the time. She just smiles or laughs so often when we first see each other at the office in the mornings. I just sorta cringe and reach for my blackberry to see what I sent the night before, lol. :thatsright:

I was trying to tell a friend of mine she was getting friendly in a late night/early morning drunk text.
Her reply was: "the first thing I did when I woke up was check my phone to see who I called or texted"

Someone from this board just actually sent me a text.
I feel so special. :naughty: :pervert:
