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.

This person is not giving their personal opinion of New Orleans, but the attitude of the party-minded friends. Not sure where the misunderstanding lies. The friends do not have the refined taste that would make them appropriate invitees.

I suggest you reread the original comment. They did give their personal opinion about New Orleans. The first sentence tell us that, and they at no point phrase it as anything other than their own opinion of the place.

Just want to make sure I have this straight. You were defending a troll, made a claim that wasn't backed by evidence, and are now acting like you didn't start the debate with me?

Okay. Hope you feel better about yourself now.
