I don't know what the alcohol laws are in your state, but in my state (Utah) it's super strict. I know a lot of people who would go to parties and not drink, while others did. But, since they were still at a party where underage drinking occurred they got in a lot of trouble. In my opinion it's best to stay on the safe side and not hang out with those who are drinking and partying. You have plenty of time to do that once you turn 21 and won't be in any trouble.
And I apologize if this sounds preachy, I know when I was 18 (which was only 5 years ago) I hated when people gave me tons of advice on drinking and partying, so I learned it for myself the hard way. I hope you are smarter and can avoid that kind of trouble.
