The problem here, as the Reality Police once pointed out, lies in the
distinction between performing the action "drink a glass of Champagne", and
performing the action "drink" on "a glass of Champagne". It has already been
ruled that in this case, the action "drink" needs to be performed on "a
glass of Champagne".

The second problem here lies in the legality of drinking others' glasses of
Champagne. As the Champagne rule does not explicitly permit you to drink
glasses in the possesion of other players, the situation falls under the
jurisdiction of:

Rule 636/1
Keep your hands off!
Keywords: Uncategorized

Unless otherwise explicitly permitted by the rules, no player may modify the
state of any object in possession of another player, without the other
player's explicit permission in a public forum.

[[ Created by 598/0. Revised by 722/1. Chutzpah 2. ]]

As drinking an object is clearly altering its state, it is forbidden for you
to drink other's objects without permission.
