Default Airlock Blackflow A Problem?

I'm on my third batch of beer. I used a three peice airlock with vodka in it. Today I decided to take a hydro sample and forgot to remove the ailock while doing so. When I opend the spigot to get my sample, I ended up sucking back about 1/2 the solution into the brew. What are the chances my beer is going to be infected by this?

You have to be kidding? Do you really there would be anything organic growing in Vodka?

Well, good to hear its probably not going to have a mushroom bed in it by the morning! I thought that's why I put the vodka in the airlock in the first place, but after I sucked it back through and got done cussing at my cat for several minutes, it got me worried.
