    What are you going to say when they ask you whose beer it was?

    If that's how you answer in court when presented with that question, that's probably what the court will conclude.

    Can you answer the question now?

    Note that "possession" does not imply ownership, it simply means that you were aware of the contraband substance and had the present ability to exercise some control over it. So, unless your pals are willing to jump on the grenade and say the beer was theirs and you did not even know they were drinking (good luck with that), you may be stuck.
