Question:
Should I donate plasma after a long night of drinking?
I'm scheduled to donate today but I was drinking quite heavily last night and I am still pretty hungover, but I drank a lot of water so I don't think I'll get dehydrated... Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this?
Answers:
Even though you may not "feel" real dehydrated., you most likely still are...do yourself a favor (and the Red Cross) and reschedule your blood donation. The nurse who does the blood draws will appreciate you not fainting on them.
Never, ever, ever, get loaded, and then expect to give blood, have surgery, have lab work...anything like that.
