Haha, I never read the "About" sections. I get annoyed with how many "house rules" pop up where I play.

We got crazy and played with Jagermeister one night, the only rule was: If the ball goes in you drink, if the ball doesn't go in you don't drink.

they need to put it on ESPN!!

i like this rule

In the event of player interference prior to the ball making contact with a cup, (aka premature grabulation), a one-cup penalty will be imposed for the interference. The thrower who had his or her shot interfered with may choose the cup to be removed.

yeah, certain places make you do certain things, just ask the rules if it's your first time playin in a specific place(house)

and that would be better if you miss and still drink because you missed ;)
