Firstly it does not say that Dumbledore drank the lake water but 
that Harry tipped it over him and he started to revive when this 
happened.

Secondly we know that an 'accio' spell works within Hogwarts grounds 
because Harry used it in the first task in GoF to get his 
broomstick, so, yes, why did he not 'accio' a bezoar?  Well, I think 
it was a confusing time for him.  Here he has his headmaster 
practically dying in front of his eyes and all DD keeps saying 
is 'get Snape, get Snape'.  I'm not sure I would have been quick 
thinking enough to get a bezoar.
