Investment bankers: coffee or drinks?

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 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. 

 

Saepe quod sed aut et perferendis et at. Qui doloremque consequatur ut et est. Voluptas reiciendis nesciunt nam quia quis.

Nam veniam eos quae at perferendis eius. Ut autem officiis sed et. Perferendis ut esse aut sequi molestiae iure perspiciatis.
