Nope.
Somewhere between Pedro and water-slowed reactions and "radioactive drinks" you've got x-rays? 
Besides that was Roentgen, in Munich who made that discovery in the previous century.

If it's being drunk then the sense would be taste, surely?

Yes have a DGI +1. It does involve a kind of food....

Iradiating fish so it does not 'go off' so quickly ?

Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic. Posted Dec 4, 2010
Have a DGI for 'irradiating' and 'going off' but it's not about radioactive sterilisation processes...

This is Fermi of "Where are all the aliens ?" or is there another ?
If it's that one didn't he do some sort of experiment on irradiating a pond of fish to show water slowed down particles (or was this a dream I had during that physics lesson all those years ago)

Not milk...

Yes that Fermi.
>>If it is that one didn't he do some sort of experiment on irradiating a pond of fish to show water slowed down particles<<
Not quite, he used water from the pond in the garden, but that's near-enough-as-damnit +3
The last clue is how the slowed down particles were FIRST employed in an analogue to their present usage, which has already been hinted at.
