I'll go drinking with my colleagues, so i won't be back by dinner.
"I will go out, so i won't need dinner." This is simple and very blunt way of saying this.
"I'll go drinking with my colleagues, so i won't be back for dinner. " This is slightly more polite phrase. There are a some variations you can use with this phrase. for example.
"I'll go drinking with my colleagues, so i won't be able to be back for dinner."
This is probably the most polite. Because of the use of "able" the nuance is it is impossible to come back tonight.
シンプルで飾り気のない言い方として下記のように言えます。
"I will go out, so i won't need dinner."
（外出するから、夕食はいらないよ。）
より丁寧に伝えたいなら次のように言えます。
"I'll go drinking with my colleagues, so i won't be back for dinner. "
（同僚と飲みにいく予定だから、夕食には間に合わないから。）
こちらの表現は幾つかのバージョンで下記のように使い分けることができます。
"I'll go drinking with my colleagues, so i won't be able to be back for dinner."
（同僚と飲みに行く予定だから、夕食の時に戻れないです。）
"able"（~できる）という言葉を使うと今夜の夕食に戻ることがほぼ不可能というニュアンスを伝えることになりますので、最も丁寧な言い方になると思います。
I will go out with my colleagues tonight, so don't worry about dinner for me.
★【選択ポイント】①「飲みにいくことになったから。。。」ということは前々から予定を立てて（-ing)いたわけではないのでwillにします。（未来は3形から選びます）
②原文が「ごめん。。。」から始まっているので、事務的で用件だけを伝える印象よりも、「心配しないで」とした方が気持ちが伝わる→don't worry about dinner for me. が最適だと思います。
（お店で「袋いりますか？」と聞かれた時なども、I don't need ...というよりも、 No, don't worry. といえるといいですね）
