It was said to be so, because everybody could see that a person died if he/she lost too much blood. That had to mean that the blood was true life. Maybe this is why the vampire drinks it? Because it is not really alive, and needs this life-force which the vampire cannot produce him-/herself. A vampire craves blood to survive just like humans crave food and water to survive. So how much one needs to drink, must be a matter of how hungry the vampire is, right? At least that is my way of thinking about it. If a human is very hungry or exhausted, he/she would probably eat more or drink more than usual. So if a vampire is weak, hungry and tired, he/she would need more blood to get back up. The living vampires of today also crave blood as the life-force energy. The body itself should be able to produce this energy, but for some reason, that's not the case. So there has to be other ways to get this energy. One way is through drinking blood, though not everybody can do that. At least this is my theory after a long time of research! :) Luna Blood is the life-force. It was said to be so, because everybody could see that a person died if he/she lost too much blood.

Blood, like the vampire itself, is but a symbol. What sustains the vampire is the life essence found within the blood. Extrapolating, this would explain why the blood of the living holds more sustenance than the blood of the dead, or donor blood from a blood bank. The more life in the blood, the more life essence it supplies the dead vampire. This is, of course, just another theory I'm playing with in my novels and such.
