I recently quit alcohol. When it comes to networking, what is more motivating to get you to meet with an undergrad. When he asks you if you'd like to meet over coffee, or drinks at a bar?
I don't mind seeing alcohol. I was a great bartender when I quit drink (it helped that I wasn't drunk working)
*I should've mentioned before, I'm a former bartender in Britain who is 22 years old.

I am not going to spend my time after work grabbing a drink with some noob trying to network with me and spend $10-$20 (even more if you are buying for him).
Stick with coffee.
I generally agree with the above poster. That being said and maybe because I'm more senior, but I like to schedule those late afternoon so I have an excuse to leave the office a bit early and grab a cheeky beer before heading home. I really don't care if you don't want to drink (although as you know, a lot of people find that weird), but if I'm giving you some of my time, the least you can do is let me choose where.
Yeah I always do coffee. No shot I want to grab drinks with a random person after I get off work. I'm going to drink coffee anyway on a Tuesday and may or may not be drinking that day so might as well get a better coffee than what's in the office. Path of least resistance.
