Hello,
Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.
Generally is Okay if you have hiccuped during a drink. The main concern in that case is the drink should not go to your lungs through the windpipe. This is usually prevented by a structure called epiglottis which prevents the entry of food particles into the lungs.
You need to concerned if you have a sever burning sensation in the throat, cough, breathlessness or any related symptoms.
Hope this helps
