If the groom were organizing the bachelor party would he attend?
If so, and it is purely about not wanting to do the work of organizing it, I'd say to him "suck it up and stop whining."
Like I said above, I have no interest in bachelor parties myself but if I did agree to be a best man I would do so knowing that this is part of what may be expected of me. I'm not aware of any aspect of the bachelor party tradition that is reliant on what level of living the bachelor lifestyle the groom has been at.
On the other hand, if the honor of being his best man isn't a fair trade of the hassle of organizing party (if the groom wants it) then I'd wonder if the groom had picked well as it would seem the regard is a little one sided.
Personally, my breaking point would be a toast. I'd perhaps be willing to take a bullet for the groom but I'd still not do a toast so if that was mandatory they'd have to go find someone else.
