@WehrmachtLuftwaffe Well, I've never drunk in my life, so we have my opinion and your experience. Still, I'm sticking to water. :)

@Pinepelt I've drank the night before, and it didn't affect anything.

Getting drunk the night before you donate is really stupid. Be smart--stick to water. Plasma is 93% water. Alcohol is a dehydrant. Plasma is essential to live. It's not hard to do the math.
By the way Gears2, great comment.

@71m3d0g That's because your blood is extremly thin after you drink thats why it just shoots out not very smart not to mention you may pass out haha.

Make sure they don't manipulate the needle too much after they stick you, if it is moved around you get a chance of infiltration - where the vein tears open and blood leaks into muscle and tissue, and its painful. Eat as soon as possible before donating, drink a ton of water afterwards and before. Above all, if you feel anything out of the ordinary - dizziness, sweating, chills, vision changes - notify someone IMMEDIATELY.
