If a "deadly drink" does NOT kill you when ingested, then it wasn't a deadly drink in that particular case, by definition. I would have called it a "poisonous drink." . . .

You're overthinking it. I think.
A reasonable way of reading the verse is something that the would
normally be deadly will not hurt -- and not kill -- a true believer. It's a sign, after all.
Also, you seem to have answered "Other" in theological terms, which is fine. I simply answered "Yes" in terms of reality . It's what will happen if I drink a deadly thing. (Some believers agree, as it turns out.
