I think that the advice "Don't hit send until the next morning" is sound not only for post-booze emailing, but for anything done late in the day. Driving whilst overly tired (for example) is known to pose similar risks to driving under the influence of alcohol.
Although mmaunder has only mentioned holding off on emails due to drink, there are many other reasons why one might author an email one evening, but not send it in the morning (e.g. the need to check a fact with someone who has already gone to bed or is otherwise unavailable). That mmaunder was drunk is not an conclusion that can inevitably and reliably be drawn from such a timestamp.
