Oh, Ray would almost certainly take a female partner here rather than kissing Dillon. No argument there. I just can't see Dillon accepting the idea if he can possibly help it, or even if he can't. Good resolutions notwithstanding, Dillon has a downright childish tendency to grab a thing he wants and hang on hard - and he was squee-ing inside at the thought of kissing Ray. Take that away from him, and he might even throw a tantrum. I definitely can't see him suggesting it. Dillon doesn't care about face; he cares about getting what he wants.
And Ray might ask Ruby to act as his partner, especially if he's making assumptions about "the LaRose girls", but I can't see him pressing the point. He seems like a nice guy - he's not shown any jerk tendencies yet - and trying to coerce a girl into kissing him would make him a total jerk in a comedy like this (or in real life).
So I reckon that either the suggestion has to come from Ray and get rapid agreement from Ruby, or it has to come from Ruby herself. Which is just possible, for various reasons already noted. Then we could watch Dillon desperately trying to find reasons why it wouldn't work without using the words "I don't wanna".
Meanwhile, even if none of this happens - and this is all wild guesswork so far - we can most likely watch Dillon trying to tell Ruby not to tell Ray that he's gay. Which is going to be a stretch, because Ruby is incredibly truthful at the best of times, and she's hardly going to approve of Dillon's motives here.
As to the booze aspect - it's not clear how much Ruby caught of that conversation, but anyway... I'm sure that Ruby would disapprove of Dillon getting Ray drunk to have his evil way with him, but so far that's not happening; we're looking at one drink, at Ray's own specific suggestion. And Ruby is a Canadian, so she probably has more of a Canadian sense of proportion, rather than an American-Puritan view of alcohol. We have no evidence that she regards one drink as a big deal.

It really seems like Ruby's Libido is working overtime to compensate for all the sexual repression she has had in the past.
