VERONA, USA: Keeping in mind all those lovers of alcohol ahead of new year's eve, Innocorp, Ltd's has announced an innovative iPhone app intoxicheck.

intoxicheck leads users through a simple set of before and after reaction, judgment and memory challenges so drivers clearly see how impaired they are in an effort to stop drinking.

"New Year's Day celebrations are just a few days away. This can mean big trouble for some people. Many people who drink tend to underestimate their impairment level. We hope people use our new iPhone app, intoxicheck, and use a designated driver or take a taxi to avoid being arrested for drinking and driving,” said Deb Kusmec of Innocorp, Ltd.

According to the release, the new iPhone app is research-based and works by comparing results from a series of challenges users take while sober to results they get after drinking.

"By taking a series of reaction, judgment and memory challenges before drinking, you establish a baseline of sober performance that you can compare to your performance on those same challenges after drinking. In field tests of intoxicheck under controlled conditions, the new iPhone app provided a reasonably accurate assessment of a person’s impairment level," said Kusmec.
