I'll confess, though, that I've either attended some tame parties or failed to hang with the right crowd because the closest I've been to bad behavior is an intern being sent home in a cab around a toddler's bedtime (Grub Street had a recent guide on drinking at holiday parties). Is it just me or is boorish behavior at an office party only a sitcom gag? If you've got examples, kindly share your office-party-hijinks stories in the comments (and, yes, it's understood that these are about your *wink* *wink* co-workers).

A fellow I used to work with at the auto parts store got seduced by a secretary from a shop down the street during a company Christmas party.
They went out to her car, and did the deed. When they tried be sneaky about returning, everyone in the room was applauding for them.
The last holiday party I attended was about 5 years ago. Had a GREAT time! My office manager got to the point where she was taking body shots off the waitress, and we drank enough champagne between us all to blow the budget in the first hour or so. (We all chipped in the following day to cover the costs of the extras...)
At another company I worked for, we had a branch manager that had a problem with blacking out from drinking so much. (Or so she said...) During her last blackout, she proceeded to piss herself, so she simply removed her underwear. Which wouldn't have been (too much of) a problem if she hadn't kept falling out of the chair she was sitting in. Later that night, she offered a beejer to the husband of one of her employees because she "knew he wasn't get them from the wife."
She was a joy. I liked it when she tried to sue the company for wrongful termination a couple of months later. It wasn't like we didn't have a bunch of agents who saw her performance that night at the party (which was held at the branch location!), or anything.
Christmastime is *fun*.
