Potentially a drone could live for about four months, but a drone that is successful in mating with a queen will die during the act, whatever its age.
Also, in the autumn, all drones are dragged to the hive entrance by the workers and thrown out, and they die. This is because they have no purpose over the winter, do no work and would be a drain on hive resources. New drones are produced in the spring.
