We understand your desire to visit establishments and connect with those you have worked with over the years, and we commend your intent to express gratitude. It's important to ensure that these interactions align with biblical principles.
We know in Romans 12:2 (WEB) "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
This does mean we are to be friendly, compassionate, and interested in the lives of those we have been associated with, as Proverbs 17:17 says "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." (WEB)
However, as your heart is to just say thank you, but the subject of drinking came up. This is what the Word of God has to say about it in Galatians 5:21 "Envy, murder, drunkenness, orgies, and anything like this; of which I warn you, that you also will not have your part in the kingdom of God." (WEB) So please be careful, as Ephesians 5:18 says "Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" (WEB)
Therefore we can pray for your visit and these establishments, and these people. Let's pray:

This prayer uses the Name of Jesus Christ for a good reason, as in Acts 4:12 (WEB) "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among us by which we must be saved!"
