How long after Donating does it take for a person to come back to their senses enough so they can drive home? Can they NOTHING but drive themselves home safely in your opinion? I read some info on the One Blood Site but trust your read on the whole situation.

How much blood do they take in one visit, how often can you donate and how much blood in volume is in the standard 200 lb man? Thanks, My Friend.

I wanna do Operation Shoebox with FW also but one thing at a time.
FAQ | OneBlood

I donate blood every two months when I do that and not for NOTHING. It is a pint each time.

How Is Blood Volume Calculated? Science Q&A - The New York Times

7.5 quarts of blood for a average 200 lb man but it would vary as to body type and other stuff. 15 pints or so.
