The ‘Social Media Sobriety Test’ is designed to prevent alcohol-related posting to social media sites including Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr.
It also stops people from using custom sites like Foursquare or blogs and web-based email accounts such as Gmail or Hotmail.
Developed by web security firm Webroot, the test’s tagline is ‘Nothing good happens online after 1 a.m.’ It is free to download.
Users are able to personalise it to choose which sites to block and then select the hours of the day that they are most likely to have enjoyed a few drinks.
If you want to access social media sites during these times, you will have to pass a randomly selected sobriety test such as ‘drag your mouse in a straight line', ‘type the alphabet backwards', or ‘follow the finger'.
Another test challenges users to guess how long 30 seconds is by clicking on their mouse.
