Two men, aged 20 and 27, and a 25-year-old woman face charges of supplying alcohol to a minor.
They were arrested after video footage of the boy, who was so drunk he could hardly speak or stand, was posted on YouTube.
He was filmed at a skate park in the suburb of Fairfield holding a can of bourbon and coke.
The trial date was set at a hearing in the Hamilton District Court on Monday but the accused were excused from having to attend.
