If the Oilers finish worst in the league since 2004, does that mean they get the first-overall pick in the management draft? Because the prospects in that department are underperforming rather significantly. They could really use a superstar. Or a star. Or a halfway competent bag of pucks.

Could be, I'm not sure, I'm no doctor.

Wast that how Morbius became a vampire?

Unless you were, for instance, drunk on blood (because you're a vampire), in which case, whoever receives your transfusion would also become blood-thirsty, or, "drunk on blood" as the vampires say, because they're now a vampire too.

So I guess that answers your question now, right?

A couple years back I attempted to give blood on a Saturday morning after a friday night out. I was definitely hung over if not still drunk and was unable to bleed. Apparently I was much to dehydrated to donate. I was unable to fill the small vials they use for tests, let alone a blood bag. They still let me have a bowl of soup too!

I can imagine it would be quite difficult to be drunk enough to be a factor and still hydrated enough to donate. At least based on my experience.

Who is the Route 29 Batman:

Police pulled a man over on Route 29 in Silver Spring last week because of a problem with his plates. This would not ordinarily make international news, but the car was a black Lamborghini, the license plate was the Batman symbol, and the driver was Batman, dressed head-to-toe in full superhero regalia.

...

Batman began visiting Baltimore area hospitals in 2001, sometimes with his now teenage son Brandon playing Robin. Once other hospitals and charities heard about his car and his cape, Batman was put on superhero speed dial for children’s causes around the region. He visits sick kids at least couple times a month, sometimes more often. He visits schools, too, to talk about bullying. He does not do birthday parties.

His superhero work is limited to doing good deeds, part of a maturation process in his own life. In his earlier years, he acknowledges that he sometimes displayed an unsuperhero-like temper and got into occasional trouble with the law for fights and other confrontations. Putting on the Batman uniform changes and steadies him.

Thanks for the reply Par!

I'm not an expert on hematology or transfusion medicine, but I think it's unlikely that much, if any, alcohol would survive the process from donation to transfusion, and it would be rare for enough to survive to make you drunk.

First of all, most transfusions are packed red blood cells, which are separated physically from the rest of a unit of blood, including the liquid components.

When those liquid components are transfused, as so-called fresh frozen plasma, it's still been processed and reduced to a small concentration of plasma proteins and small concentrations of other minerals found in the original donation.

Considering, as well, that you're diluting the donation by at least a factor of 5-10 in a transfusion, you'd have to be pretty blitzed to have much of an impact.

Question:

If you are drunk when you give blood and the donation is not screened can the future recipeint get drunk when they transfuse your blood?

RIP canadian penny. I can't say I'll miss you.
