Your traditional romantic dinner is almost certainly going to involve wine. (In a stereotypical western culture setting)
My dates have typically been in a more casual environment. Being invited to parties (alcohol or more), movie theaters (typical movie house snacks), Beach (cooler of water bottles, pop, light snacks, or whatever is available there)
DO NOT push your date to drink or do anything they aren't comfortable with.
Informed consent is key.
