Google is testing a feature meant to stop you sending emails while you're drunk.
Blog: Emails you'll later regret

The "mail goggles" feature forces you to solve some simple maths problems within a time limit before you're allowed to hit send, according to a post on a Google developer's blog.

It is now being tested on Google's free Gmail email service.

Once turned on, it automatically activates late at night on weekends.

You can also set it up to activate at other times when you might send emails you regret, such as before your morning coffee.
