I have always read this that Voldemort needed the blood, not 
Quirrell.  The mystery to me, therefore, is how to drink with the back 
of your head.

In any case, we need to eat to sustain ourselves, but as long as we 
are prompt about it, we never get weak - why should an additional 
requirement for unicorn blood be any different?
