A program called "Fatal Vision Goggles" was introduced in 1996 and has become a well-known tool in alcohol prevention education. "The product is now used in all 50 states and more than 21 countries to help teach people of all ages the potentially fatal consequences of drunk driving and underage drinking in a dramatic way," said Michael Aguilar, Innocorp President. The goggles in Fatal Vision are used to simulate impairment in low, moderate and high blood alcohol impairment levels. The goggles are also available in clear frames to simulate impairment in daylight and dark shaded frames to simulate impairment at night. This education tool shows the effects of impairment and raises awareness about dangers of youth drinking and drunk driving - all without a sip of alcohol.
MADD is always looking for creative ways to educate people on alcohol impairment and its tragic endings while drinking and driving and before getting behind the wheel after consuming alcohol or dinking under the legal drinking age of 21.
Another national organization called Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) is an organization, which targets drunk driving as a symptom of a much larger problem. They want to educate students against destructive decisions and with their grass root efforts are trying to achieve the goal of less than 2000 annual alcohol-related motor vehicle fatalities of young people by the end of the year.
It appears that no one wants to take responsibility for his/her actions and with simple anti-addiction programs SADD hopes to interject reality into the college atmosphere. SADD is opened to all students, organizations, faculties and staff.
SADD "Student of the Year" Katie Hultin of Hillsboro, North Dakota, said, "Even though SADD chapters and others have reduced the rate of deaths among young people, it is hard to see a big improvement because the actual number of death ha decreased only slightly.
