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.
Weight for weight, drinkable yogurt has 3.4 g of protein for each gram of fat (3.65 g against 1.07 g per 100 g).
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 quoted here is counted by piece at 150 g, and it covers about 11% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.

3.65 g. The 1 bottle serving used on this page weighs 150 g and so carries 5.5 g.
4.9 g. That figure divides its 3.65 g of protein per 100 g by its 74 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
Yes. The protein in drinkable yogurt supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own.
About 11%. One 1 bottle serving has 5.5 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
