Of course, but when you say "drink" do you mean drink? Or do you mean drink as in get drunk. If it is the later, then it is not allowed to any of them. The same goes for anyone, clergy or not.
May the Lord bless and keep you. May He let the light of His face shine upon you.

Yes. Catholicism allows drinking alcohol in moderation.
Jesus told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, ... (John 2:7-9)
Wine is used throughout both the Old and New Testaments. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was to turn water in wine at the wedding in Cana.
It is true that we should not become drunk but used in moderation, wine is a biblically acceptable beverage.
Go, eat your bread with joy and drink your wine with a merry heart, because it is now that God favors your works. (Ecclesiastes 9:7)
What would Jesus do? Jesus had a cup of wine with dinner.
With love in Christ.

Ummmm....the Pope is a Bishop, the Cardinals are all Bishops....and YES, they are allowed to drink alcohol.
First, we use real wine during Mass.
Second, even Jesus drank wine.
Drunkeness is a sin, not drinking in and of itself.

Cardinals and Bishops and the Pope himself are all still priests. They drink sacred wine every time they celebrate Mass.
A serious answer among the Bozos.

Even Jesus drank wine. He also performed a miracle making wine. He wouldn't have made it if it were sinful. The sin comes in when it is abused.
