Booze and blood
I gave blood for the first time today, I know I can't do any exercise or heavy lifting today, but can I drink?

No, stella is the way forward. I've got a tinnie in front of me ready to have it's seal broken, I just don't want to pass out after 3 tinnies.

You are able to drink, but will get drunk more quickly.

Guinness used to be given free after blood donation. It can't hurt you to drink it if you HAVE to drink. It has a high iron content.

WOW! How about that! I'll tell my mates about the guiness cure.

You're only supposed to lay off drink before you give blood, I don't think it matters afterwards! Not that I've ever bothered trying either, since alcohol and I don't get on well.

Funny you should say that as they didn't ask whether I had been drinking before I donated either....
They don't usually ask (perhaps they should?) but in the leaflet they give you before you get there it says you should have a good lunch/breakfast and avoid alcohol with it. I don't think it's an actual requirement like not being anaemic, but a recommendation.
