Yes they do drink in space, they drink water

Yes, they would die if they didn't drink some water.

The shuttle astronauts carry some of the water needed for themselves and also deliver water to the International Space Station. Over a year 2200 liters are transported at a cost of $US11000 per liter. The ISS also has a Russian built device that processes the humidity in the air and condenses it for drinking and other purposes. On the shuttle, water is produced as a byproduct of the orbiter's fuel cells converting hydrogen and oxygen to electricity.

Because of the massive cost of transporting water, NASA is working on a system that converts many of the astronauts' body fluids - and, yes, that includes urine - into drinkable water. See the Related Link below for the interesting details.

How do female astronauts urinate in space?

Female astronauts use a funnel-shaped device called a “urine collection device” to urinate in space. This device helps to funnel the urine into a tube that can be connected to the spacecraft's waste management system. Gravity is not present in space so the urine needs to be contained and managed carefully to avoid any potential issues.
