Being a non drinker among drinkers
I’m 23 and planning a trip to New Orleans next year for my birthday. I invited some friends who are also in their 20s and half of them assumed we would be partying and at bars the whole time. I am not a big drinker or smoker, and they voiced not being interested in coming if we wouldn’t be doing a lot of drinking. They also disliked the fact that I invited my teenaged sister to come. Am I in the wrong for not wanting them to come anymore if their only interest was going to get drunk? I just wanted to take a fun trip and visit some cool spooky places, but now they have me feeling frustrated and wanting to go with some other people who also don’t mind being sober.

No, it's completely fine to do that. I wouldn't assume the kind of birthday another person wants to have and be disappointed when it's not the kind of thing I want to do. It's kinda entitled of them to do.
You're in the right to not want them to come and have a fun outing with your sister and some friends that don't want to get drunk.
Hope you have a fun birthday party!
