It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

It varies widely depending on the people and all of the stereotypes about dating exist people enough people promote it, but zero of them work for everyone.
Movies were a popular first date too, but not everyone likes going to the movies. Too many people, too loud, and a large number of people just don't like watching movies.
Not everyone wants to go out to dinner because of hangups about their own eating habits.
Not everyone wants to go out for a walk at a park. They could have physical issues or allergies or something else that they don't want to be the focus of a first date.
Not everyone drinks or wants to drink on a first date. But a lot of people also have one or maybe two drinks, not to get drunk but because they find it relaxing. Most people would see getting drunk as a bad sign unless they see it as a sign of a fellow alcoholic. In fact, the only people I can think of that would want their date to get drunk are sex pests.
