No, Brahmins cannot consume alcohol under normal circumstances.



The twelfth Chapter of the Parashara Smriti discuses the possible expiation of the sin a Brahmana accumulates after consuming alcohol:




A Brahman who has drunk wine must go to a river
that falls into the sea
; he must perform a Chandrayana,
which being finished, he is to give a feast to the Brahmans,
and by way of a fee, he is to give a cow and a bull to the
Brahmans
. (75) If a Brahman has drunk wine only once, he must
drink flaming hot spirituous liquor; thereby he will purify
himself, both as regards this world, and as regards the other
world. (76)

    According to the Smritis, not only Brahmins, none of the twice-borns are allowed to drink spirituous liquors.




    Manu Smriti 9.235. The slayer of a Brahmana, (A twice-born man) who
    drinks (the spirituous liquor called) Sura, he who steals (the gold of
    a Brahmana), and he who violates a Guru’s bed, must each and all be
    considered as men who committed mortal sins (mahapataka)




    Drinking liquor, in fact, is considered as one of the five great sins (mahapataka).



    Usana Smriti says:




    THE destroyer of a Brahmanas, one who drinks spirituous liquors, a
    thief, and the violator of the preceptor's bed, and the one who
    associates with them, are the great sinners.



    Chapter 8, Verse 1




    Same thing is repeated in Chandogya Upanishad 5.10.9:




    Steno hiranyasya surAm pivamshacha gurostalpamAvasan brahmahA |

    Chaite patanti chatvArah panchamashchAcharamstaih ||



    One who steals gold, who drinks Sura, who cohabits with the Guru's
    wife and one who slays a Brahmin - these four and the the fifth, who
    associates with these four - all of these five become fallen.
