Are protestants allowed to drink

Answer 1

It completely depends on the denomination, congregation, and individual. Some denominations and congregations are strict on that issue and do not allow people to drink alcohol (some conservative Baptist and independent churches). Others strongly discourage it, but do not attempt to enforce it (e.g. the official stance of the United Methodist Church). Others are fine with it, and allow individuals to make their own decisions on whether to drink or not (e.g. most liberal/progressive congregations).
