The word "toxic" means "able to kill" so a toxic acid is one that could kill if ingested. Vinegar contains an acid that is non-toxic in that dilution, as does the cola you may drink (but any acid in a high concentration might do harm). Strong undiluted acids like Sulphuric and Nitric acids, will kill you if you drink them.
