It used to be called dialing while drinking

Now the problem is emailing while drinking.  Nothing can be worse than having a couple of martinis with the folks from work and deciding it’s finally time to send an email to an ex- or to finally set the boss straight.

The Google gang has come to your rescue with Google Goggles.  If you choose to use this functionality in your Gmail (it’s in the Labs menu), when you try and send an email at a suspicious time on say a Friday or Saturday night (this is configurable), you’ll be asked a series of small math problems (you can set the difficulty) that have to be successfully answered before the message will be set.

If you keep the difficulty set to low, you’ll have no problem answering the questions without a calculator, but it will stop you long enough to think – do I really want to send this note?

Also, if you don’t keep up with slang – “Beer Goggles” is an expression meaning that possible “romance” may set in later in the evening when other people start to look better to you as a result of your imbibing a few beers.
