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.
