Trust yourself, If this "friend" has to lie then don't you think she sounds like s bit if a bad influence? Also, not only can you get in trouble for underage drinking but you NEVER drink witjh people you do not know. Bad news written. On this one, Take a pass. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]

Also, you don't know these boys from Adam and what their intentions are. They may be standup gentlemen but they may also be the kind of jerks to take advantage of you especially if not sober.
I would treat this like what your parents told you eons ago about strangers. If you don't know these guys don't get into a car with them or set yourself up for something you can't control.
Maybe your friend knows them and maybe it's okay despite the bad decision on drinking but why take a risk? Simply tell her that your parents need you to go somewhere that night or tell her you love hanging out together but don't feel comfortable with people you do not know, cars, and alcohol. Even if she doesn't "get it" you know you did the right thing.
Also, lying to your parents about where you will be and with whom is stupid to be brutally honest. Imagine if there were an emergency and they needed you and you weren't where they were told you would be. You would lose their trust from there. Do the right thing and decline.

And if she doesnt want to then just cancel and do something else. She should understand if you dont feel comfortable with it. &Don't let her pressure you into anything you dont wanna do.
