Buddhism is about gaining clarity and understanding. Alcohol is about losing it. When we becomes Buddhists, we undertake to live according to a set of precepts, one of which is that we should not use alcohol or other drugs in ways that cloud the mind.

This does not prohibit alcohol use, but unless one is drinking to cloud the mind -- one of the first things that happens when we drink -- there really isn't much point in it. Thus, most committed Buddhists don't bother.

Devout Mormons do not drink tea -- beverages made from the tea plant Camellia sinensis.

The Word of Wisdom upon which these prohibitions are based counsels caution in taking any harmful substance into the body.
