The Xenos in Aliens could be a different but similar species than Big Chap. Could also explain the differences in Body and Behavior.
Similar thinking along the lines above, after I posted this, I had a thought, a face hugger, being as defenseless as it is (other than being very quick and instinctual, what real defenses does a face hugger have? None, in my opinion.) I decided while it's probably never been proven, or really even thought of by anyone writing or scripting canon, it could very well be plausible that a face hugger would have a higher concentration of acid for blood, than say a more aggressive and defensive adult who has teeth, claws and a tail and can use them with vicious savagery.
With that said, yes, I agree with many replies stating that we really didn't get much of a shot of Drake after being splashed and the quick shot we did get, time hadn't lapsed too much as well, so there could be further affects.
