I would find it nigh-impossible to give up meat, as I'm already vegetarian, so I'd either have to commit a logical impossibility, or drastically restrict my indirect consumption of animal products (couning things like occasional non-vegetarian cheese as not really vegetarian but not really "meat".)
However I interpreted the question as "which would you rather do without" :) I would probably find it exceedingly difficult to give up something as widespread as meat, whatever my diet, but I think I would still vote the same way, hoping to learn to cook some interesting meals.
I presumed giving up coffee and alcohol didn't mean switching to other stimulants/social lubricants (which I've nearly done already). If so, I decided it was difficult, but I'd rather keep alcohol: I think a healthy life-style and good awareness of my bodily cycle ought to replace coffee as my source for awakeness, but sometimes alcohol is enjoyable in a way little else is (although I do enjoy doing stuff without alcohol that normally would entail it, but I'd rather not all the time, and I don't really like the idea of relying on drugs in general).
