Answers:
you must be at least 17 years young and below 60 years old

rules apply differently in other countries of course
Regular donors can keep on giving blood right up until the age of 70!.
you will loose 470 ml wich is just under 1 pint
Drink loads of liquid before and after you donate - and not the alcoholic variety please!. Eat your regular meals too
Can I go back to work on the same day!?
Unfortunately the answer is yes
I am a vegetarian, can I give blood!?
There is no problem with vegetarians giving blood!. The red blood cells, which require iron from the stores in your body, will need to be replaced after the donation!. Provided you eat a well-balanced diet you should be able to replenish your iron supply within a month!. However, this may take longer because you are a vegetarian
