Yes, that's right. Notice that 飲んでいない is the preset tense. The past progressive tense is 飲んでいなかった.I had presumed the past continuous tense is for event that continued for a period of time and had stopped or finished in the past.
You can think that that's the perfect tense. If you want to emphasize that you are hungry now, お腹が空いている is used.The simple past tense in Japanese language is for event that happened in the past and has stopped or finished, isn't it?
However I do have some difficulty to get my head around something like "I'm hungry" but expressed in past tense. I remember in Japanese I'm supposed to say お腹が空いた while I would still be hungry.
