Depends, usually my workplace does organize 2 yearly events. 1 for Christmas and 1 for summer. Both have huge amounts of alcohol available so at least it’s possible to make those tolerable.
Christmas one comes with a lottery and some decent prizes as well, though have to wear a suit there.
Summer one usually has a sauna and is on a bigger area so not that bad actually.
Most of my work events are during business hours and “on the clock”. The ones that aren’t are high value usually - white water rafting for example. Or volunteer events (which usually come with PTO time). Or incentives - like Christmas party of annual company picnic - prizes.
That reminds me, next week is the quarterly massage.

Anything else is kinda unacceptable.
