Helium is an inert gas, so it has no effect on the body. Divers use it mixed with oxygen when they dive deeply. The only real danger is breathing in so much that you don't get enough oxygen.

You don't drink helium, you inhale it. When you then attempt to speak, since the density of helium is less than that of air, you voice has a higher timbre.Note: Helium does not contain oxygen.
