Rules of Pennying

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. I'll have a more complete update in about 2 days after I finish a big project I've been working on. But I wanted to compile a set of rules for pennying, a classic past time in Britain.

So pennying is all about dropping pennies into another person's drink, meaning they have to finish their drink.

So rule 1) A penny in a glass or drink means you have to down it. Unless it conflicts with another rule.
2) An empty glass that's pennied needs to be filled then downed.

Now, there are a bunch of exceptions that you have to keep in mind, which make the game more interesting.

3) You can't penny a glass that hasn't been sipped at yet. Now, people can be real lame and just not drink from the glass... ever... but peer pressure usually takes care of that one.
4) If a person is double pennied, the second pennier has to drink his or her glass. Now this should NEVER happen since if you're pennied, you better drink it on the spot. But the rule's there.
5) If you are pennied and catch the penny with your teeth after downing the glass, the pennier has to finish his or her glass as well.
6) If you miss when you try to penny someone, you must down your glass.

Those are all of the rules I can think of right now. But when we go to formal every week, everyone brings their own bottle of wine. Fun times. To the PKT guys, you should try it for semi-formal =)
