I disagree. If you're with good company, anything can be tons of fun, even a boring dinner or drink date.
Ok, fair enough. I hyperbolized a bit too much.
But, especially for a first date, which is what we are discussing, I try to avoid dinner or drinks...because there is a potential for boring with someone that you don't know.

I can see that. I still prefer drinks or coffee as a first date. You can easily end it after the first drink (15-20 minutes?) or you can extend it to dinner, more drinks or going somewhere else.

I don't, for the most part, drink alcohol or, ever, coffee.
For first dates I usually suggest some event, or a hike, stroll by the river, etc where we can talk and extend to a meal or refreshments afterwards, if so inclined.

I don't know if I'd date someone who wouldn't drink alcohol or coffee. I did date someone very briefly who never drank alcohol and I brew beer and like going to whiskey and wine tasting events and it just didn't work between us. I'm not a drunk by any means (I rarely get drunk or even buzzed) but I do like attending tastings. I'd prefer someone who could attend those events with me or experiment with cocktail recipes.
Events sound great...but it's 20 degrees here right now. Most people aren't strolling around outside.

Why not coffee? Not that I want to date you

Agreed...I met a couple of interesting women recently but have been struggling for things to do together because it's cold as **** (below 50).

I hope some of the dinner-date guys here are taking notes.

I do ice skating in the winter, they always seem to love it.. but that's much more of a second or 3rd date for me because I have to hold them the whole time usually.

Because when I wake up every morning I like to catch up on news and drink a big mug of coffee. It wouldn't be a deal breaker by any means, but it's not something I'd prefer. One can always drink tea instead, and believe me, I'm not interested in dating you either
Plus, I've found that most people who 'don't' do something are VERY often self righteous about it. I've known/dated guys who didn't watch tv, or didn't eat meat, or didn't drink alcohol, or didn't drink coffee and basically every single one of them has needed to throw out something negative about my choice to do those things. It gets very irritating.
