A vampire can go forever without drinking blood...of any kind. Their eyes will turn black...their mental abilities will cease to work correctly...but they'll be just as strong as they were physically. It would be quite a hellish life for a vampire to go without drinking blood...but it won't kill them...just like they don't need to breathe...but do it out of habit. The Cullen's try to stretch their limits for blood...of any kind. In MIDNIGHT SUN, both Jasper and Edward become distracted by the smell of a human girl near them. The reason so was because they had not hunted for weeks and weeks...and their eyes are jet black. Edward gives no explanation as why they were waiting for so long...especially since Jasper was weak in the blood abstaining thing. It was a dangerous thing to do...but yet they did it anyway.
