Anything with calories can help you put weight on. Problem is, if the calories aren't needed by muscles (because you aren't working out or lifting weights) that added weight will just be fat. There's really nothing special about protein drinks- you can get such protein from other sources, it's just that protein drinks are are convenient.

Large muscles require many calories to maintain therefore losing weight is easier when you have muscle mass. If you do not eat, your body will consume it's own fat as energy then muscle when the fat is absent.
