All hope is not lost, however, apparently the geniuses at Google are making headway towards such technology. Today I learned of a new feature in Gmail called Mail Goggles, the purpose of which is to prevent people from sending drunk emails. While this has never really been a problem for yours truly, I very much appreciate the innovation here. Basically what it does is ask you to solve a series of math problems after you hit the send button. If you get them correct your message will be sent and I assume the opposite happens if you get them wrong. Additionally, the default settings for this feature are late at night on the weekends, though they can be adjusted with in the settings. You can read all about the feature here. As for those of you who are skeptical as to whether this actually exists, I just went into my Gmail and confirmed it.
Now Google just needs to implement this technology into cell phones and I'll be good to go, like a Crunchwrap Supreme.
