For work parties, COVID changed everything. The company I used to work for used to love parties. There were parties every month at a minimum (last Friday of the month) and for successful projects etc. With COVID, many people moved out of the city centre with the option of remote/hybrid work. That means less people can drink at the work parties. Instead of just catching a bus home or walking, they need to drive to the office. The people I'm still in contact with said the work party group is basically dead now. For personal parties, that solely depends on your friend group.
