Well, the first thing that came to mind is for you to be the designated driver.
if that isn't possible - than be true to yourself, I know at your age the pressure to go along is tremendous, but in all honesty - after this summer you may never see, have another word or interaction with most of these people ever again for your entire life.
My son didn't believe me when I told him that while he was choosing his college during his senior year, and wanted to go where all his high school buddies were going, but after the first few months at school he called and said I was right, he'd met so many people with more common interests and attitudes than those "Friends" he went to high school with that he didn't even interact with those people anymore.
So consider that it isn't worth a few hours of feeling "Part of" this group that in all honesty probably won't be part of your life in the near future.
Don't just go along to go along - be yourself, that is never the wrong thing to do.
