A dare is someone else spending your courage. Spend it on something you picked.

Courage is a limited supply, and a dare is a withdrawal somebody else makes from your account. The risk is yours, the consequences are yours, and the only thing they get is the entertainment. What makes it work is the speed: you are asked in front of people, with a few seconds to answer, which is precisely when nobody thinks clearly.
Have a sentence ready for the next one, so you do not have to invent it under pressure. Something flat and unbothered rather than defensive. Then go and use that same nerve this week on something you chose yourself.
Who has spent your courage on something you never chose?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
