How do you keep the hunger at bay? How do you keep it from effecting your moods and attitude? What's some of the ways you can pacify it for a short period of time?
There are several things that you will commonly see vampires do to curb their hunger. I'm not necessarily promoting these methods, simply reporting the popularity of them. There are a TON of vamps who will turn to smoking to help curb their hunger. (my Love was one such until I met him and made him quit-dirty, nasty habit) Another common one is alcohol...Now, I don't mean getting plastered, but just relaxed. Maybe a glass of wine or two. Sex is certainly another as it's a huge redistribution of energy and a distinct change in thought and focus. Unfortunatly, another is drugs (especially pot) which I DO NOT advocated-merely point out that it's another commonly used method.
No matter what a vampire does, however, they must remain responsibile in their actions. This includes waiting until of legal age to drink or smoke, and avoiding illegal activities including drugs and especially being in a dangerous-and AVOIDABLE-situation like not driving under the influence!
Unfortunatly, the only thing that TRULY kills the hunger (temporarily) is feeding. The duration between feedings starts off tiny but as one ages, one can tolerate longer time between feedings.
Hope this helps...
