Matt, not everyone has declared that "email is for dinosaurs" [1] and there are some people that still use it. :) However I do agree with you that maybe a single service that catches any outbound messages from me at that time (twitter, SMS) would be even more useful (though not really practical to build). Now if your iPhone could read your blood alcohol content from your hand when you're holding it, you could set it to auto-active this service. Or consider this alternative perspective: people that get in trouble for sending messages like this are supposed to get in trouble, they need to learn from negative feedback.

I appreciate the humor, Gmail team - but please stick to making legitimate features that make people more productive with their email.

Umm, I send drunk emails. I've done it quite a few times. I've even drunkenly emailed an ex, though, not to get back together. And yeah, I do get drunk at random times throughout the day and not just at night, but I think this may have been able to save me at least once in my drunken endeavors. And why is it wasting your time?? If you don't want it, turn it off. Geez. I like their sense of humor when creating new apps. So what if it's only useful to some.
