Do you have to be sober to donate blood?
I don't even know my blood type.

..yeah, I reckon you do have to be sober, Alex..apart from anything else, giving a pint of blood makes you feel quite weak so doing it when you had been drinking wouldn't be a good idea...but the blood would be diluted with alcohol... |

I tried too once but they collapsed my vein (my veins are awful) and I never went back. A woman I work with has given 60 pints now and been invited to a big blood donor party....she's very excited.

I know, she goes the maximum time you can in a year, I think it's 3..and never misses. Bless her...Her husband is terminally ill with a degenerative disease and the NHS have been brilliant with him and she said this is her way of giving something back...

Be a donor for a while but kinda scared because once I fainted after giving it and fell to the floor and my face was covered in bruises for about 2 weeks and it looked like I was beating up

I'm almost never sober so I can't donate blood. If I was a decent functioning member of society I would though

I wonder why that is? Loads of people are tattooed/pierced now,seems a waste of much wanted blood.

You should not give blood if;
You're a male donor with less than 12 weeks' interval between donations. You're a female donor who had given blood in the last 12 weeks (normally, you must wait 16 weeks). You have a chesty cough, sore throat or active cold sore. You're currently taking antibiotics or you have just finished a course within the last seven days or have had any infection in that last two weeks. You've had hepatitis or jaundice in the last 12 months. You've had a tattoo, semi-permanent make up or any cosmetic treatments that involves skin piercing in the last 4 months. You have had acupuncture in the last 4 months, unless this was done within the NHS or by a qualified Healthcare Professional registered with a statutory body. A member of your family (parent, brother, sister or child) has suffered with CJD (Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease). You've ever received human pituitary extract (which was used in some growth hormone or fertility treatments before 1985). |

I'm a regular blood donor. My husband received a lot of blood in surgery and I feel more of a duty now... although I did give blood before, just not so regularly.
