Well I have to say I am very glad I postponed drinks with friends on the same day as my blood donation in 2 weeks.

Inadvertently made dinner plans on a blood donation day. I’m glad I ate lunch after donation and drank a ton of water. One drink with appetizers and dinner hit me like about 3-4 drinks. I bought an electrolyte drink on my way home and drank some more water before i went to bed. Wasn’t driving. If people are going to drink alcohol at all, after giving blood, leave the car at home. That glass of wine you may be able to tolerate with a full meal over several hours can make you drunk enough to be impaired
