~~My brain always hurts when playing never have I ever, something about the wording just inherently confuses me every time. The upvote/downvote addition makes it worse haha~~
Never have I ever been to a wedding! Looks like my own one will be the first I attend :o
Never have I attended a high school prom, dance, or graduation
Dang it. I had it to the very end.
No prom no dances but I did graduate and attend my graduation.
I was the only one that graduated that year because I went to a small school and I worked ahead and so technically I was valedictorian and also technically every party I go to is a reunion party for my graduating class.

I have never drank alcohol, despite persuasion from friends. I consider it unhealthy. Chemically, it's a poison, and a "hangover" is the process of removing the poison.
It is unhealthy but it makes you relax and have fun if not drinking too much. Also it makes people horny which is a plus sometimes.
I also don't drink more than a few beers every few months, but if I lived in a warm country, I probably would. It's very tasty when it's hot.

I definitely wouldn't suggest that people need to run out with friends and drink copious amounts of alcohol. A night at the bar can be fun, but keeping that as an activity that a friend group commits to repeatedly isn't a healthy setting (for instance alcoholism effects 10% of the population).
That being said, there are a lot of constructive uses with alcoholic beverages such as cooking and really unique flavor profiles. Some of the mixtures that are 90%+ non-alcoholic have interesting tastes that you just can't recreate without the alcohol changing subtle differences in what's present. Definitely respect your choice not to drink though, just throwing this out there as a healthier alternative than binge drinking for those who do want to try.
One semi-accidental food discovery I made is when you are sauteing onions and mushrooms, put a dash of soy (or even better liquid aminos) and then when they are almost done throw about a shot of red wine in and simmer it out. The combo brings out so much flavor that it's almost overpoweringly good!

You are very right in every aspect of this. It's a poison, and it kills hundreds of thousands every year.

Never have I done anal.
Iβd like to tell a story about βnever have I ever,β because my house used to be a popular spot for college parties, and was known for its extensive bar and fun times, so often that game was played. And when some drunk fellow-student would suggest we play βnever have I ever,β I would say, fine, we can play, but please donβt use this as an excuse to say something you are extremely embarrassed about, and quickly drink. I would then tell a story I had heard about a guy who said βnever have I ever killed a deer and then fucked it,β and not only quickly drank, excitedly called out all the other guys from the hunting trip that they all should drink too. I hoped this was a very clear example of what not to do.
Nope. βNever have I everβ was always an exercise in more and more embarrassing admissions until someone lost their mind and the admittee slinked away in shame.
People admitted giving blowjobs in fast food parking lots. Sex with people at the party. Sex with a dog.
Yes, reread that last one. You would think the deer example would rule that one out, but no, some people will do anything to drink something they were free to drink anyway.

Never done any recreational drugs.
Is that including cigarettes and alcohol or are you only talking about the ones that are federally illegal?
Never smoked a cigarette, but I do try a drink now and then. I find the phrase "drugs & alcohol" relevant here in that they're different categories.

Never learned to ride a bicycle.
Upvoted! I learned how pretty young, but I have a few friends who never did and they have told me that the main thing holding them back as adults is the fear of falling down. Is it the same for you?
Yes. I have a healthy, but irrational fear of falling. Heights do not bother me (flying in a plane is no big deal in terms of the height). But if I am even a foot above the ground under my own power (say, on a ladder), I get extremely unsteady and nervous.
So bicycles were out pretty much from the beginning.
My family, when I was young, would try to convince me by asking, βhow can you drive a car if you canβt ride a bike?β Yeah my response shut them up pretty quickly: βa car has 4 tires and is stable.β I was seven years old.
