Google offers Mail Goggles to users with beer goggles

Following its entry into the enterprise market Google is now offering parental services. Google has introduced a system that tests whether e‑mail users are drunk before they send e-mails.

The Mail Goggles system asks users simple mathematical questions to provide e¬‑mailing's equivalent of the breathalyser. This system only works in the wee small hours, automatically activating late at night on weekends, and is designed to stop people sending e-mails that they will regret the next day.

Downtime is considering its own system that can identify whether journalists are drunk when they write Downtimes.
