Although a manufacturer (Innocorp Ltd) has claimed that the goggles can be used as an effective tool for teaching people about the effects of alcohol consumption on driving, there are no studies that have found beneficial effects of use of the goggles on the likelihood that individuals will later engage in impaired driving. Five of the models are intended to simulate five ranges of blood alcohol content: .06% or less, .07% to .10% or so, .12–.15% or so, .17–.20% or so, and .25% or so.
