You should generally not drink a drink if a wasp fell in it, especially if wasp is still alive or recently drowned, because drinking it could cause wasp to sting mouth, throat, or esophagus, leading to painful sting and potentially serious allergic reaction or swelling that can obstruct breathing. If wasp fell into drink like soda, beer, juice, or other sweet beverage that attracts wasps, and you accidentally swallow wasp, sting can occur inside mouth or throat, which is dangerous, especially for people allergic to wasp stings who may experience anaphylaxis. Even if wasp is dead, drink may be contaminated with bacteria and venom, and dead wasp may still have stinger that can cause irritation. If you see wasp in drink, discard drink safely and get fresh one, and check drink before sipping, especially outdoors in late summer when wasps are attracted to sweet drinks. If you accidentally drank from drink where wasp fell and did not get stung, risk is low but you should monitor for allergic reaction like swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives, and seek medical attention if symptoms appear. To prevent wasps falling into drinks, keep drinks covered with lids or cups, avoid drinking from open cans without checking, and keep sweet drinks sealed outdoors. So it is safer not to drink drink if wasp fell in it, discard and get new drink.
