Drinking blood doesn't make one crazy, it is considered cannablistic bc of the blood ,though is far from MOST cannibalistic acts which involved violence and ripping apart and eating ones flesh. I think there is a huge difference from someone hunting someone down ripping them open eating their organs, all done with force and unwillingly, compare to a person who drinks a small amount of blood from a willing consenting person, in which little or no pain is involved.

Which, with all do respect, is not Vampirism. It's a lifestyle choice.

It has?

A link to the study, or at least a summary for further reading would be great, cheers.

Read this book: - "The Science of Vampires" by Katherine Ramsland

edit: There is a science behind "blood" vampires. The book will give you all the info you want. You can probably get it on Amazon.

social life ... it's the lack of advanture and interesting events

Many of you don't understand the desire that blood infuses in a certain population.
Let's say you crave steak. Not a big deal, since its not frowned upon in the general population. It's a big craving, and you would do anything to whet this desire. Or is it not this strong? Surely you could find some other source to fulfill your hunger needs.
But what if you couldn't, and that desire had to remain with you, knawing at you constantly? And nothing but steak could fulfill it? Or in this case blood...
It might be taboo, but we don't see mortal blood drinkers running around killing people for blood. They look for donors. Have some respect.

It has been scientifically proven that drinking blood can potentially increase the length of one's life. However, I find the possibility of vampires existing to be absolutely ridiculous. If you drink blood because you think it keeps you alive, not only are you cannibalistic, but you are also delusional and need to be placed in a mental institution.  

Actually it has not been scientifically proven

maybe there has been a study with very inflammed results. Drinking blood has alot of variables to it which are proven and  not proven.
such as, if the blood has a disease in it, then the blood drinker can not only get sick but can die from it.

Now some religions (not mainstream but cults and secret societies) think that drinking blood  can enlighten yu and give yu the ones knowledge and experiences. which of course sounds crazy.
  
im sure everyone knows who the vampire legends start from Dracula who is really Vlad the Impaler

"Vlad the Impaler did not resemble the stereotypical Dracula character we think of today. Having lived from 1431 to 1476, Vlad the Impaler was a ruler of Wallachia, a region of Romania. Vlad the Impaler was also known as Vlad III and Vlad Tepes. He was a prince known for his cruelty and propensity to impale anyone who got in his way"

he was a cruel man who beheaded  many people and had their heads  impaled on a steak  his  castle was surrounded by impaled bodies and heads.
The blood drinking came from when he would eat he would eat around the bodies  dipping his bread or w.e into the blood.

Modern day vampires  often put themselves in a world where they are these "vampires" who believe if they dont drink blood they feel weak so much to the point it actually happens.   others do it for attention others do it to show their dark side.  but in any way  being a vampire is just a phase or mental state people go through.

also some people dont call themselves vampires but "radikas"

Just because you're obsessed with something doesn't mean other people have to respect that. Nor does someone finding a donor negate the fact the eating or drinking of flesh or blood of your own species is cannabalism. It just is. Just because you find the term cannibal taboo, doesn't mean people can't use the term. Have some respect.

What about Psychic Vampires??  I mean we all know that one person that seems to feed off of others...whether that be by creating tension or always having some sort of drama that they want to involve you in.  They literally seem sapped when you don't let them in.  There is a book from Llewelyn Press by some guy called Konstantinos that addresses the Psychic Vampire...if I remember correctly Dion Fortune's "Psychic Self Defense " addresed the subject well too.  Now maybe a "blood vampire" is the same thing as a "Psychic Vampire" , but the blood is a focus of sorts for ingesting the energy.  SOUNDS KINDA KOOKY HUH?  As for all of the Hot Topic kids who become Vampires after sucking on their Mommy and Daddy's bank accounts....there are a buttload of those roaming around.  Thank God my kids didn't get all Vampire obsessed after reading/watching Twilight!

Eh. Psychic vampires are worse than real vampires because it's a self feeding delusion. The more depressed you act, people around you get depressed, you feel like maybe you're special for realz, and you seem energized by this prospect, which makes you think you stole this energy from the people around you. When you try to tell people that there is no evidence of any psychic transfer of energy anywhere, they respond with how speshul and dark they are and they don't want to be studied...blah blah blah. All of this is my opinion of course.

Albeit a very widely held one, and most likely accurate.

Please people for the sake of argument let's agree that there are totally "sane" people out there that model their behavior after vamps. of literature and/or movies and even drink blood of donor. That is their life style,their mental mind-set, maybe from 7:00P.M. to midnight and after that they go back "home", go to bed, get up and go to work until they adopt their vamp. life style for another night on the town.The ones that worry me are the ones that kill for blood, feed on the spot, and vanish as quickly as the came. They do exist whether one chooses to accept it or not.

your right some sane people do believe they are a vampire. but the idea of them needing blood to get their strength is in their mind they think it so much they eventually believe it.
