A typical 1 bottle serving of drinkable yogurt contains 5.5 grams of protein (3.65 g per 100 g), which makes it a moderate source of protein. That covers roughly 11% of the 50 g reference Daily Value, so it adds toward your protein total for the day.
Around 20% of the calories in drinkable yogurt come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
Among the 81 dairy foods in the database, drinkable yogurt ranks 65th by protein per serving, and 464th out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against blue cheese, another dairy food entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g less protein (blue cheese has 6 g per 1 oz).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving above is counted by piece at 150 g. Because pieces vary, the per-100 g figure is the one to use when comparing this against a food measured a different way.
