I suspect that isn't true, but it is an interesting question. There is a lot of water on the planet, some of it spends long periods locked up out of reach of drink ability.
I would guess that at most water has been drunk multiple times, but that there is some miniscule a fraction that moved between icecap, permafrost and deep water table and has avoided being consumed by an animal since it arrived on earth.
I would be interested to read a mathematical estimate of how many 9s of water on earth has been drunk at some point.
