'''"I Never..."''' or "Never Have I Ever..." is a [[Drinking Game]] played frequently by college students.
The premise is simple: Everyone has a drink. Going around in a circle, players begin, "I never..." and finish the statement with an action or behavior. Everyone who ''has'' done so must drink.
Line 9:
In fiction, it's just mild teasing, and it's great for character exposition.

* "I Never..." was played on an episode of ''[[Medium]]'' where it became a clue that a man was possessed by his murderer ancestor. He was playing with his girlfriend and she asks whether he has dreamt of menstrual blood running down a virgin's leg and then slitting her throat. He had to take a drink.

* Another non-alcoholic version of "I Never..." occurs in the ''[[Lonely Girl 15]]'' episode "Backyard Bikini Patrol". The point was obviously not to get drunk (they were playing with M&M's), but to learn "something juicy" about the participants. Served as a means of delivering exposition because we found out how different the lives of trait positives were from those of normal girls.▼

* On ''[[Family Guy]]'', the guys play this on a boating trip. Quagmire ends up taking a drink for everything the other characters think of, and eventually they're actively trying to come up with something he hasn't done, getting progressively more ridiculous ([[Rule of Funny|for some reason]], it never occurs to them to say something non-sexual). It doesn't work, and he ends up passing out.
