A little unnatural
“Grabbing”
“I’ll do my best tomorrow, too.” Makes sense grammatically, but it sounds a little strange directly after your last sentence. I think you might want to specify what it is you’re doing your best at. Also, “drinks and food” makes perfect sense, but usually it’s ordered as “food and drinks” in English. However “drinks and food” does make sense.

I'm looking forward to grabbing some drinks with my colleagues tomorrow! the rest of it sounds very unnatural and probably very Japanese in nature it's usually something that is not expressed in English speaking countries when stated after the first sentence.

A little unnatural
--> "I'm looking forward to *grabbing* some ... *colleagues* tomorrow."
Verb tense must be the same here.
