Default Is it safe to drill holes in concrete lintel?

I have read most of the messages regarding drilling into concrete
lintels above a window and saw the recommended various tools (SDS drill
etc) but one post has a comment stating that this can weaken the lintel
and cause structural damage. Anyone have any experience of these
problems?
Thanks
