My 10 years old cat sneezes with clear discharge from nose and one eye sometimes, veterinarians said she has allergy but these few days I noticing that she is drinking a little more often, could it be because of her allergies? She is eating and sleeping fine.

It could be because of Feliz's allergies, but it could also be due to something else like diabetes or kidney disease. Those can be common diseases in older cats. I'd take her into the vet for a geriatric blood panel and urinalysis.
