I go to a blood donation center -- which reminds me that I am due to schedule an appointment.

How often? Every time I go I have to lie about my use of steroids. Sometimes I just drain about 16ounces into a mason jar at home. My wife's mom is a nurse.

I've thought about doing that but it sounds like it could go bad very quickly.

About every 56 days.

Even if you use an 18 gauge needle, with a 3 cc barrel and hook it to a 1/2 inch vinyl tube and try to drain out into a 1/2 liter soda jug,, you'll find that the blood will stop flowing after just a short time. You need to create some sort of negative (suction) pressure with something like a vacutainer or similar medical device.

Take some aspirin to thin the blood, should flow out very quickly. Also they sell antiquagluant fluid to run down the inside of the tube before you drain that way is doesn't clog up. Just a thought.

about half way. Sometimes flow slows down and I have to adjust the needle a little. I use 1" needle and I don't bury it. Vein is fairly big but don't push through it
