My husband's work do falls on the night before my son's sixth birthday. His birthday party is the weekend before so my husband will be there for that.
Usually when husband goes out the next day will be a right off.
Our son will get up early and want to open presents straight away with both of us.
Yabu - husband can go out
Yanbu - husband should not go out
AIBU?
To expect husband not to go out the night before son's 6th birthday

It's in the evening/night, they will probs drink until 4am. It will involve him getting pissed. I don't think he would be able to get up on the morning of his birthday due to being hungover.

Also, why would he want to get drunk with Work colleagues.

What sort of work is happy with the employees going out til 4am, and being utterly unfit to work the next day?

If Dad can't get up because he had too many beers and he needs to stay in bed, then that's on Dad.
So, in practice , Dad can do whatever he wants and screw everyone else / his child's happiness on their birthday morning.
"That's on Dad" doesn't really mean anything else. There won't be any actual consequences for Dad, just for the rest of the family.
Can't blame the op for wanting to prevent her child being disappointed on birthday morning.
