Keep in mind that there are a lot of serious, dedicated folks in the upper ranks of most businesses... and then there are other types of folks. Ex-CEO of Broadcom is one example. I worked at a startup where the well-connected CTO invited me to come to Tijuana with him and the secretary for a night of indiscretions. I've found having long hair and looking like a partier gets people to open up to you and you find out some of the straight laced folks you thought you knew are much different.

Of course individual cases happen - I know of a few. I was more thinking about the way corporate parties are depicted in media (Hollywood movies, mostly). I am French and worked for French, German and US companies (tech) and I never witnessed what was discussed above. Flights in corporate jets were convenient and everyone was either chatting, or reading, or working. Multiple week travels in great hotels were pleases where people got to know, had dinner and then everyone went to their room. Parties were parties (including after-parties), some drinking, lots of laughing and that's all. All this from "general population" parties/travels, to top level ones. Like I said: I must have been to the wrong parties :)

  In France you have free parties to make up for that (or at least HAD, before Covid)
