Instead of banning parties, lets ban the METOO movement when they purport to be the arbiters of what people can choose to do with their own lives.
The METOO types can choose to go or not go to such parties, but don't try to tell everyone else how to live.
By their reasoning we should all stop driving cars, thus saving 30,000+ lives per year, and avoiding 2,000,000+ injuries per year.
Over course of my life, I've seen office parties transition from weekend bacchanals with open bars held at local hotels to on-site catered lunches for staff only with no alcohol at all. Whereas at one time, misbehavior at the office holiday party would just provide fodder for water cooler gossips, now there can be serious legal consequences. And then there's also the issue of money. Those big parties during the venture capital era were ridiculously expensive. Add in potential liability for the company hosting the shindig, and it's really no surprise that holiday parties are considerably more subdued now.
on the one hand I kind of think the best approach is to just do an office party at the office where there is no alcohol and its just a meal together.
on the other hand, those office ragers tend to draw out the idiots so the boss has a chance for fire morons.
i have seriously never understood why or how people act a complete fool at some office event. didn't understand it when i was 28 and i don't understand it now 20 years later.
Christmas parties used to be linked to team building.
Sexual harassment can be accomplished the rest of the year as well. So why have a brick and mortar workplace if it promotes sexual harassment?
Liberals want to end Christmas parties because a small minority of sexual harassment cases. Yet, ignore all the crime that crosses the southern border along with good people who just wish to break our immigration laws and steal identities.

Many also want to purge or even abolish religion in our society, even though that is not what the Founding Fathers ever intended. The freedom of religion aspect of the 1st Amendment is perverted despite these very words;
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
Yet for socialism/communism to work, freedom of expression, religion, and armed citizens must be eradicated.
As to Christmas parties being stopped, the leftists want all traditions and normalcy in our culture to be turned on it's head. It is all part of the communist community activists Saul Alinsky's grand plan to destroy our society.
If there is going to be Christmas party at a company, I don't think alcohol should be served. Realistically, does an employer really want to risk the chance that an employee gets drunk and does something so stupid that the employer faces potential liability?

If I was an employer, I would just let employees fork over money, and let them host thier own holiday party at an venue away from work on their own free time.
Not only should the parties be banned men and women should always be separated. Women should be covered from head to toe. In the interest of equality so should men.
Political correctness and renewed puritanism in the millennial cohort is destroying and sucking the fun out of everything. There is nothing wrong with a bit of flirting and grabbing, and in fact I would welcome it.
Completely agree! I'm old enough to remember Xmas parties in the 80s! They were wild! Funny thing is often times it was the ladies making the first move It was one of the days of the year when women had permission to get a crazy!
Man it must suck to be a 20 something these days!!!!!!!!!!!
