By a show of hands: Did anyone consume on Saturday before the LSU game? You know what we mean (Sorry Big Machen).
If you raised your hand, don't feel bad because there's no need to - as long as you were smart enough to realize that eight-plus hours of tailgating followed by three hours of screaming and three more hours of Dogging Salty is an awfully unhealthy way to spend your game day.
If the latter more accurately applies to you, then you may have reason to feel bad.We've all been there before. You get home from your bar of choice (legally, in all applicable senses), and you log into one of your e-mail accounts to send a midnight message or two.
As you tumble out of your extra-long twin bed with one bone-dry contact lens in, wearing two still-tied shoes but no pants, you realize you've just IMed your ex or blabbed something embarrassingly incoherent to someone you haven't talked to since high school. Truth hurts doesn't it, drunkie?
Luckily for all of us, Google's got our back.
The masterminds behind Gmail have created a feature that may help curb the ever-present danger of drunken e-mailing. The addition can be set to take effect at night or on the weekends.
When activated, Mail Goggles will prompt you to answer a couple of simple, timed math problems before sending your message. If you answer correctly, the all-knowing Google Goggles deem you coherent enough to communicate and allow your message to be sent. However, if you forget to carry the one, the Gmail police will nab you for e-mailing while intoxicated.
Thanks to the Google gods, our e-mail accounts now have breathalyzers. Too bad our cell phones remain unprotected.
