Is the word bebem the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "bebem" (the third-person plural present indicative of the verb beber) is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation.

In Brazilian Portuguese, the nasalized ending "-em" is often pronounced with a subtle, almost imperceptible "i" sound at the end (sounding somewhat like bebeim), and the vowels tend to be more "open." In Continental Portuguese, the pronunciation is more "closed" and the nasalization is more distinct and "dry," with less vowel resonance.
