Here is a quote from wiki(yeah i know, dubious source) that best explains the rule, imo.

According to the fifth precept of the Pancasila, Buddhists should refrain from intoxicants, which cause a loss of mindfulness. Most Buddhist schools have strongly discouraged the use of intoxicants or psychoactives of any kind, with minor exceptions. Priests in the Soto Zen tradition of Japan, for example, are allowed to consume alcohol.
Im too baked and tired at the moment to go into much detail, so I hope that suffices. =)
