Best Answer

It is unsafe to drink because and any hydroxide is created by hydrochloric acid, Calcium Hydroxide is therefore unsafe to drink. However the dilute solution of Calcium Hydroxide is Limewater, which is not recommended to drink because it is the main way to test for Carbon Dioxide. It can make you feel sick and cause painful vomiting, but other than that has no other affect on the human body.
