You can drink blood to survive in real-life, as well... it's really salty, though...

Also, you can light a campfire, and "use" your ice on the campfire in order to melt it.

Gah, I never knew that.  Is it 'u'se or 'i'nteract?  I've managed to melt ice in my waterskin in the past by surrounding myself with a bunch of campfires.  Try it in a freezing area and check the temperature with 'P', it will say "It is warm." if you're standing by enough of them, but it takes a really long time waiting for the ice to melt.

There was nothing of use here either, but I had enough food for a week and enough drink for several months in the form of blood splatter coatings.

Although you can actually drink the spatter coatings, they don't restore your hunger or thirst.

I beg to differ, in past lives I've been traveling through freezing climates where all the rivers, and the water in my waterskin had all turned to ice.  In those times my only source of water, sometimes for weeks at a time, was blood splatter coatings on my clothes and weaponry.  Just be careful not to drink any vampire blood spatters, I think it'll turn you into one.  But yeah, in real life that wouldn't work so well.

Edit: One thing I've noticed with this latest adventurer and his 60 pages of spatter is that at times the blood spatter will become frozen as well, but I think it needs to be colder than for water, maybe because blood has a lower freezing point.

I just did some testing, and I found that some blood spatters quench your thirst, and some don't. Perhaps it depends on the size of the spatter.

Interact on your waterskin that contains the frozen ice while standing next to a campfire.

Well its also possible that you were so thirsty you needed two drinks, and thus two spatters, there is supposed to be a color difference as you get thirstier and thirstier, but I think the second tier thirst color is the same as the first.  On the other hand there do seem to be smears, spatters, and coatings, probably sized in that order and it might be that bigger ones quench thirst more.

Side note, I have a wide variety of blood spatters on my tongue. Kind of funny to be drinking blood that's already in my mouth.

Yeah, you can also do things like drink the water off your ear or other weird things.

Not to mention that if you get one of those mods that adds genitalia...

Anyway, thirst is dark blue in the first tier, and yellow in the emergency tier, but you can be thirsty enough to need two drinks without being yellow tier, yet.

It's purple if you're going to diiiie soon.

Update:

So I've been at it for quite a while now and I still have not found anyone willing to forgive me for kicking that dog.  I guess it's just as well, because I've killed quite a few people in their sleep and I don't think anyone would buy an excuse like 'preemptive self defense' any more than they would believe I could accidentally decapitate someone.

My original goal as an adventurer was to achieve over a thousand notable kills and be seen as a hero in the eyes of every civilization in the world.  Well, I certainly had over a thousand kills:

At this point I think I'm willing to lower the bar a bit, and settle for finishing off the inhabitants of this town, and any others that have become hostile, before going to look for work elsewhere.  In a way I suppose that this new goal is grander still than my old one.  I'll just have to leave 'murdered an entire civilization' off my resume.

My skills and attributes have progressed quite a bit since the fighting began:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sadly, some of the more awesome feats of swordsmanship still elude me.  For example as my skill has increased the likelihood of a slash to the lower body cutting the target in half seems to have actually decreased.  Maybe it has something to do with my using a bronze longsword, rather than iron, but I could hardly swap it out now that it has eight-hundred and forty-nine kills to its name (I guess that means I've killed over a hundred and fifty people with my bare hands?).

In other news, I've noticed that the area surrounding this town I've been fighting in has an oddly appropriate name:

Maybe this means they're used to countless murders occurring?  My rampage certainly hasn't seemed to bother the townspeople much, I just passed back through the square by the markets, where I had created a veritable carpet of corpses, and found that the markets had been re-inhabited while I was away.  In fact many of the houses around town where I brutally murdered all of the tenants seem to now be occupied by both the corpses I left to rot and a number of new residents.  It's somewhat puzzling that they don't mind the mutilated corpses and blood stains covering all the floors, walls, and furniture.

All in all I've been killing for the better part of two day straight now, and there are still more townspeople showing up all over the place.  I'm not sure if I can kill everyone here, as it seems they pop up again as fast as I can slaughter them.  It's actually kind of a shame, this is the most populous and interesting town I've seen up 'till now, what with the humans, dwarfs, and goblins all living together in some kind of bizarre harmony.  There are also loads of shops including several weapon-smithies and armorers, although they only have copper and silver items available, so they're not really of any use.  I've searched several bowyer's shops for anything impressive, but have yet to see a single masterwork item.

Eh, guess they're not so interesting after all.  Back to work then; I think I see another couple of markets ahead, this time I'll try to lure them all onto the same tile and create a pile of corpses fifty feet high.

Tough noogies, that's buggy, too.

All the non-historicals spring right back to life if you fast travel or sleep.

In fact, look at the names of the corpses - you just killed the exact same people over and over again.

Haha.  Wow, wish you hadn't told me that, it would have been funny to notice for myself.  Hmm, maybe I need to make a change of plans?  I could just kill all of their leaders, then move on.  If all else fails I could try using DFhack to fill all the houses with obsidian. Or maybe the whole town?

Edit: Wait! Only if you sleep or fast travel?  This may still be do-able depending on what the exact effects of extended drowsiness are.

1. Orbital bombardment
2. Obsidian SPEHSS carpet, perpetual darkness within the town.
3. Both

That list seems pretty promising, but I'm not sure how you could manage either of them without extensive modding/cheating.  Still worth looking into I guess.
