Is it okay to drink blood?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

No, it is not okay to drink blood, according to the answers to the questions you asked.

There are no health benefits, but many potential repercussions including HIV and other disease.

It is not illegal (to my personal knowledge) as long as you drink your own blood, or a consenting adults blood. If the person is not of age or is not consenting, assume it is illegal.

A person cannot survive on blood, there is no nutritional benefit (besides iron) in the blood. You wouldn't get enough calories to support daily body function.

Fresh blood congeals pretty quickly into a lumpy mixture that you definitely wouldn't want to drink. Also, if you drink more than half a pint you will vomit. Most people vomit before this amount but any more than half a pint and the most robust stomach will be heaving all over. We do eat black pudding here in England but it is made with pig's blood, pearl barley, fat and spices all boiled in a skin either artificial or natural and no that doesn't make you sick but it's not a large volume of blood per serving, usually about 25ml a slice. it's not illegal if it's your own or the other person consents and no, you could not survive on it.

If it's your own, yeah.
I guess it'll lower the iron-loss due to blood-loss?
But you won't be able to survive on your own blood, you need external energy. Your own blood doesn't provide that.

Drinking someone else's blood is bad for your health as it'll contain stuff your body is not familiar with, it's also a way to spread diseased. Blood also isn't very energy rich as typical food, so I wouldn't suggest become a vampire.

If you're talking about another person's blood then yesbecause it has elements that is supposed to be removed from the body, and when you drink blood you're taking in those elements. So yes, it's bad to drink blood. It's not illegal unless you kill to get to it or take it without their permission.

Over in England they have a dish called black pudding. It's rice mixed with cow's blood, stuffed into cow's or pig's intestine, and boiled. Nobody has died from eating that (that I know of). So blood isn't going to harm you as long as it's boiled or whatever. I would seriously wonder about my mental state if I wanted to consume blood, but whatever flips your switch, dude. Are you sure you just haven't been watching too much Twilight?

Well I guess the first question is....Have you recently been diagnosed as a vampire? Because if that's true then that's like the in thing right now. Watch a little True Blood as long as you're of age and all.

Not a good idea. When you pee, the urine is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. Would you want to drink pee?

if its your own blood then you know, whatever but, if it's someone elses then i would be careful cause they could aid or other health..problems >.>

If your asking this from a social point of view it is just as 'okay' to lick the slime of a toad

I feel like this isn't quite a legitimate question. Just saying.

uhhh......

i.....dont......think.......so..........…
