Basically "Someone might as well do something" implies "S might as well do something (as do that/this thing)" or "Someone had better do something (than do that/this thing)". (EX-1) Are you going to deposit your money at the bank? You might as well dig a hole and bury it.

The sentence is not correct. You forgot the. "He might as well go to the party." (a is also possible there.)

"might as well" often implies that you have nothing better to do or that there is not a good alternative. It also often shows lack of enthusiam for doing whatever it is.
