Answer

It will not harm you but you should mix it into a drink to avoid getting your stomach upset. It could neutralize your stomach acid and thereby give you some nausea and gas; but that's about it.


Also, you should know that some homemade lemonade would work just as well. Although lemonade is very acidic, the body turns it into a very alkaline substance. It does not matter on the PH of the product, but rather the PH that it turns to in the body. This is the same with most fruits and vegetables. I eat pineapple and drink lemonade a lot for this reason.
