Google Goggles Prevents Drunks From Emailing

Ever wake up in the morning with a roaring hangover to find your computer on and email open? The sinking feeling you get when you click on your sent mail and find a flurry of sent incoherent, angry and/or sexually suggestive emails at 4:22 a.m. is well, a bad one.

For instance, why did you email your ex and tell her you had moved on, but then asked if she'd come over? That was fucking stupid, wasn't it?

There's good news though, folks - now Google is trying to help out us alcoholics with the invention of Mail Goggles which will pop up if you're sending an email at an ungodly hour.   So before you sent that rant to your boss - or that bitchy email to your mother-in-law, Google will make you jump through some hoops before doing so, leading you to ponder the question, do I really want to send this?
