Yes, and if you are curious because of the old wives tell about finding out the sex of a baby- it won't work, but it will splash up and burn you. The fumes are also toxic and will stick up your house.

The reaction of Drano (TM) and aluminum produces aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Hydrogen itself is not toxic to humans. If it displaces enough oxygen in the air, it will asphyxiate a human. But hydrogen rises quickly, and thereby dissipates quickly in open air. Hydrogen is not explosive, but it burns very well.
