Choosing alcohol as the easiest thing to give up was an easy decision: I can go weeks at a time without a drink, and it's pretty clear that while I have addictive aspects to my personality, they've never kicked in with regard to alcohol.
Meat vs. coffee is a harder choice. I gave up caffeine for several months when I was first doing Atkins, and it wasn't that much of a pain, so I know I can do it. And I like meat, but certainly don't need it. Either would be a minor sacrifice for a shortish length of time (like, say, Lent), and I'd probably get used to it if I had to give it up permanently, with rather more pain.
