What exactly is responsible for such a dramatic reaction?

I would guess that since you donate 10% of your blood when you donate, your BAC is way higher, way faster? Coupled with the trauma of losing so much blood and trying to build it back? Just some guesses though.

Those are good guesses. Your body doesn't replace the missing blood right away, takes some time for the bones to churn out new blood cells.
