One stupid act of inebriation that has gained popularity is sending out drunken emails. However, Gmail users don't have to worry about sending embarrassing emails anymore while drunk. The provider is offering a new service that will help put the kibosh on drunken email messages...Email Goggles.

Email Goggles will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night email by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?

If you're not a Gmail user, there are still ways that you can protect yourself from sending an embarrassing email the next time you get blitzed.

1. Have a friend lock your computer with a password they know. They can unlock it for you the next day so that you can reset your original password--at least until the next time you plan a night of heavy drinking.

2. Remove any names from you address list that you might send drunken emails. The chances of your remembering the email address on your own when you're drunk is slim to none, and you can always add them back to your list at a later date.

3. If you have a laptop, give it to someone for the night so that you don't have access to it while you're drunk. You can get it back once you're sober.
