No problem here.

Klingons generally consider water "weak", and according to KGT, "drinking
anything is better than drinking water". So, your phrase definitely is
strange for a Klingon to say, and could be looked at as making fun of
yourself. It probably would be comparable to boasting "I'm a wimp!" in
English. I'm sure that if you said it in front of Klingons, they'd look at
you strangely.
