*You must not point at any participant.
-*You must not use the term "Drink" or words starting with that word (drinks, drinking etc). Nor may you use the word "scull". The commonly accepted term to use is "consume", however in the play of a RuleCard that word is often the first word banned, in which case we recommend "embibe
