Generally, ordained Buddhist monks are not allowed to drink liquor/alcohol; in most Buddhist traditions, alcohol is forbidden for monastics as part of the Vinaya or monastic discipline.
Why
Buddhist rules treat intoxicants as a problem because they cloud mindfulness and can lead to unwholesome behavior. In lay Buddhism, the fifth precept also advises against intoxicants, though observance varies by tradition and person.
Important distinction
Some people who wear Buddhist-style robes are not ordained monks, and some non-monastic teachers may drink alcohol in certain traditions. So the answer depends on whether you mean a fully ordained monk or a lay BuddhistHere is the video of Arrack
