Has anyone followed the thread on Dragonsfoot about whether monks can drink potions? A close reading of the PHB will show:
We've interpreted "miscellaneous magic items" loosely, whereas they're suggesting that a monk can only use items on the Miscellaneous Magic Items table allowable by thieves, and no other magic items, which would include potions.
Here's a link to the thread. I find the reasoning pretty compelling.

3. Magic items usable by monks include all magical varieties of weapons listed (unless proscribed), rings, and those miscellaneous magic items which are usable by thieves. No other magic items of any sort may be employed by monks.
