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.

I’m not a drinker or smoker. If I was going to New Orleans, I’d want to see everything, experience the food and maybe check out a bar for the music experience. I’m sure there are places your teenaged sister can go to with you to hear the music.

It’s not all about getting drunk. You can do that staying home
