Why I never play 'I never' anymore

I started drinking in the tenth grade. Not early or late, by any means. And with drinking came the inevitable drinking games. "I never" was one of those games, and we played it all the time. If you think about it though, of course we did. We were young and shy and this game was revealing everything we wanted to know about other people but couldn't just come out and ask. At that point in time, very few of us had had sex. There were still some people who didn't drink for the question of oral sex. We were inexperienced and wildly curious. "I never" allowed us to ask what we wanted to ask without any shame.

Now that we're in our 20s and pretty much everyone has had sex and done a wide variety of other sexual acts, the game has lost its allure. At this point, whatever I'd find out would be so out there, I probably just don't want to know.

We're not 16 years old anymore. I think I'll stick to my favorite game, drink until I'm drunk.
