Often used as a cure for sober small-talk, a good drinking game is sure to get everybody focused and talkative. Unless they're beset by needlessly complicated rules and a forgetful audience, which almost all are. Side note: if the game involves a deck of playing cards, do NOT volunteer your own. They'll end up soaked in alcohol and half-torn. Your Jack of diamonds' beautiful face will never be the same again.
17. "Never Have I Ever..."
When your drinking game inevitably breaks down, somebody will suggest the easier (and infinitely more traumatic) option: "Never Have I Ever". Did you ever want to learn what your two old schoolmates got up to on that mysterious field trip in Year 11? No? Too bad, you're finding out. Every pre-drinks will also feature somebody way too proud of their exploits - they'll choose things only they have done and act surprised when nobody else drinks. Avoid eye contact.
