I remember back in my senior year of high school we were doing a lab on acids and bases.
I happened to have 2 solutions: HCl and NaOH.
They were the same exact concentration each.
If I were to mix equal amounts of both of them i would get salty water. This should be safe to drink as those 2 are strong in their respective nature they dissociate completely into ions (none of the acid or bass remains at all).
So I guess the question: is it safe to drink?

The answer is no, for two reasons:
First, you can’t know for sure that the two compounds are filly mixed: there may be some un-reacted HCl or NaOH still in there somewhere. It’s probably not enough to hurt you but…
Second, you can’t know fore sure that there aren’t other contaminants in the glass where you mixed it, that might have become involved somehow.
