Facebook Offers Solution To End Drunken Posts
First time accepted submitter blueshift_1 writes Remember that photo that you posted to Facebook sophmore year of college when you thought there was nothing more important than partying and letting everyone you knew how hard you partied? Well facebook is now trying to buzzkill every one of those moments. With their upcoming feature, they'll be using photo analysis algorithms to detect how intoxicated you were in the photo and suggest that you not post it. Which in the end, is probably for the best.

Not to be preachy, but it always strikes me as odd to what lengths some people will go to mitigate the damage their drinking does, rather than exercising just a bit of self control and not drinking to the point of intoxication. Having to make computers take care of us in this fashion and stop us from harming ourselves just seems silly.
Implying that narcissistic addicts of social media could or should exercise good judgement and self-restraint?
Oh, that's fucking rich.
Seriously.
I am very small, utmostly microscopic.
So all of my facebook posts are going to be deleted?
Those that need verification prompts to exist in our society, need to seriously rethink their basic thought process and self control.
That's exactly what this tool is for. Those that could benefit from verification prompts are completely unaware that they even have a problem. It's possible that some of them may start questioning their life choices as a result.
Of course, it's also likely to gamify alcoholism: "Dude, Facebook says I've posted drunk for 100 days in a row, that's gotta be some kind of record."

I think you are getting drunk wrong.
