Definitely more to the story- while drinking is "technically" illegal as a tourist, it's usually jot an issue until linked to some other behavior the authorities take issue with.
Visa one puzzling, unless she was intending to conduct work or business and they found out?
Sums it up pretty well, immigration officials can be
obnoxious in many countries USA and Oz come to
