Gmail: 'Don't Drink And Email'
46Google wants to help when you are drunk and stop you from sending an embarrassing email to your friends or family.
With the “Mail Googles” Labs feature in Gmail, you can protect yourself. When you are drunk, you might end up sending an inappropriate email late in the night to your friend or to your family and regret it later. Gmail wants to protect you from that embarrassment with the “Mail Googles” feature.
To enable this feature, you must enable the “Labs” feature in “Settings” in your Gmail account. When you click the “enable” button in Mail Goggles in Labs, it will check your mental aptitude, whether you are sober enough to answer basic math questions in a short time frame. You can choose your difficulty level accordingly from 1 to 5 scale.Gmail will ask you a question like the one below:
Once you answer it correctly, Gmail will allow you to send the email, otherwise, you have to try the next day.
Mail Googles by default is active only late night on the weekend. If you want other days to be activated, then click the main “Settings” tab and choose the days you want the Mail Goggles to be enabled. If you drink daily then you should click all the days as shown below.
