I will...
In Mandarin, how do you say that you will do something (i.e I will eat, I will drink, I will sleep, etc.)?

don't use "我要",haha,我要 generally means "i want"

it depends, in chinese there is no fixed form to express future state
for example:
I will do it in two days,我(会)在两天之内搞定它
We will eat the pancake at 11am. 上午11点的时候我们(ellipsis)吃蛋糕
I will sleep at 12 pm today. 今天我(打算)晚上12点睡
BUT I'd like to tell you there is an universal word can be used in most situations——"打算", although sometimes not that appropriately.
I will do it in two days,我(打算)在两天之内搞定它
We will eat the pancake at 11am. 我们(打算)上午11点吃蛋糕
I will sleep at 12 pm today. 今天我(打算)晚上12点睡
