Bloodmobile Offers Beer To Blood Donors

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-only-regret-that-I-have-but-one-pint-to-give-for-a-beer dept.

In college I found the best time to drink was right after giving blood, and it appears that the Cascade Regional Blood Services in Tacoma, Washington agrees. The blood center has launched a "Give blood, get beer" promotion. Donors who are at least 21 years old are given a coupon for a free pint of beer at a participating pub or restaurant.

    They've provided Guinness for blood donors (post donation) in Ireland for years, they used to also provide it to new mothers (lots of iron, makes you strong...) Give a pint of blood, get a pint (or three) of the durty old black.
