Me:

I think this is a common misconception thanks to TMWSNBM.(where it 
just shows a *floating* thing)  In the book SS/PS Quirrell makes it 
clear that it's him in the forest drinking the unicorns blood.  Oops, 
sorry, it's VOLDEMORT who makes it clear :o) 

SS/PS p 293:

Voldemort speaking
*snip*
"See what I have become?" the face said.  "Mere shadow and 
vapor . . . I have form only when I can share another's body . . . 
but there have always beeen those willing to let me into their hearts 
and minds. . . .   Unicoren blood has strengthened me, these past 
weeks . . . you saw faithful Quirrell drinking it for me in the 
forest . . ."
*snip*

So it's Quirrell who drinks the blood here.  But nevertheless, it is 
blood drinking.  And I mentioned just a few messages ago that I do 
believe that somehow Voldemort is a vampire and this is how he's not 
dead from all this.   I think it's one of the *many* protections he 
mentions he took to secure that he would have life still.
