Default Google tool keeps email sober
I'm sure this has happened to many people sending drunk messages. Google have implemented a tool that makes you answer a few simple maths questions before sending out email whilst drunk.

Can we integrate it into fora? Would be handy in mobile phones, too... (Apple?! Please?!)

Trouble is I think I'd manage to use the calculator to work them out even when drunk.

I mean, if I can navigate to Gmail, login properly and type the sender's email...

Hah, I wish my internet banking had the same feature.

I just recently discovered large amounts of alcohol + iPhone + internet banking = very bad combination.

I see a new social trend in that, of course a negative one.

So what's stopping you just going into settings and turning that feature off and then blasting away with your drunken email?
