Google wants to help you when you're drunk. A new feature in Google Labs called "Mail Googles" stops you from sending an embarrassing email to your friends or family if you've had one too many.
When you are drunk, you might end up sending an inappropriate email late in the night to your friend or family member and regretting it later. But don't fear, Google is looking out for you; 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. In simple terms, it tests you to see if 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 an email. Otherwise, you have to try the next day.
By default, Mail Googles is only activated late at night on weekends. If you want other days to be activated, click the main “Settings” tab and choose the days you want Mail Goggles to be enabled. If you drink daily, click all the days as shown below.
