Yes, many Turkish people do drink alcohol. While Islam prohibits the consumption of alcohol, it is not uncommon for Turkish people to consume alcohol, especially among younger generations. 

In Turkey, it is legal to purchase and consume alcohol, and it is widely available in bars, restaurants, and stores.

Like in many other countries, the consumption of alcohol in Turkey is often associated with social and cultural events, such as weddings, parties, and festivals. However, it is also important to note that not all Turkish people drink alcohol, and some abstain from alcohol due to religious or personal beliefs.
