Yes, that is REALLY what the Google Gods have created!  With the tagline, "Stop Sending Emails You Later Regret", Google has created Mail Goggles to help crack down on drinking and emailing.

When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?

By default, Mail Goggles is only active late night on the weekend as that is the time folks are most likely to need it. Once enabled, it can be adjusted when it's active in the General settings.

What in the world will Google think up next?

Nice idea.  I wonder -- if you drink and email, do they take away your password? :) ~ Evelyn
