How gross does it get?

Properly gross — bodily functions, weird foods, hygiene disasters. Not for the squeamish, but never mean.

No — keep this one for personal life.

Four to six — large enough to compete for the worst story, small enough that the gag reflexes are visible.

Have you ever thrown up from drinking too much?

Why people ask this

This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. Gross questions earn their place because the laughter they trigger is louder than almost any other category — horror and humour share more wiring than people think. The yes-or-no format is what makes it work — nobody has to volunteer a story, but once someone says yes the room always wants to hear it. That is why this question comes up again even in groups that have played before: the answer changes, the story changes, and the same question lands differently every time someone new is in the room.
