What happens if multiple players drink for the same statement?

Can you play without a turn order?

How do you handle disputes over whether a statement applies?

Settle disputes by letting the group vote. Majority rules ensure fairness and keep the game moving.

Do you need any specific items for the final penalty or winner's bragging rights?
