How to Not Send Drunken Emails That You'll Regret Forever

"I'll tell him, Yesh I will...Jush wait 'til he gets thish email!!!" If that's ever been you -- drunk enough to send off an angry email that you'd never dream of sending sober -- then do we ever have a useful tool for you. No need to desperately apologize to your significant other, your boss, your fantasy lover, or anyone else, if the email never gets sent. Here's how to play it safe with Google's Goggles.

Step1
Too tough? No email! Too tough? No email! . Yep...good old Google has come up with a new tool for its Gmail email service, called Goggles. With Google Goggles activated, you can't send out an email on a Friday or Saturday night until you answer a few simple math questions. If you're too drunk to answer them, then no email for you.
Step2
Gmail Gmail . Open your Gmail account page and click the Settings link (upper right). On the Settings page, click the Labs tab.
Step3
Google Goggles Google Goggles . Scroll down to Mail Goggles and click Enable.
Step4
. Now you're safe. You can adjust the schedule for other than Friday and Saturday nights if you're that kind of drinker. Take a look at Resources, directly below, for more information on Google Goggles for Gmail.
