Can I donate blood if I consumed alcohol less than 24 hours ago?
Jun 17, 2013

Dr. Jean Esso Anesthesiology
You're supposed to wait 24 hours after drinking before you can donate blood. Alcohol thins your blood so if you're going to binge, don't donate the next day! Thinned blood can be very dangerous for recipients because it does not clot as quickly as regular blood.
