Respectfully, I disagree. I think it makes sense for the handlebars to be rotated such that the rider can comfortably grip the drops without having to bend the wrist . . . kind of like a handshake. Sometimes this position relates to level drops; sometimes it doesn't.
OP: I'd recommend putting the bike on a trainer, and rotate the bars until the drops are comfortable to you. Once that is set, then adjust the levers/hoods so that they are likewise comfortable. Sometimes, due to handlebar shape and/or rider position, you have to compromise between an ideal drop position and an ideal hood position.
