Oh deary dear..
Depends on the rcd rating and measured Zs values for the installation.Although, if using a modern double insulated (class 2 again) drill and wearing shoes in a dry environment, it is improbable that you will experience an electric shock
But you might flinch at the flash and topple backwards down the stairs and break your neck...
If you have an RCD on the consumer unit then you do not need to worry about electrocuting yourself.
