'Pennying' or also known as 'The Penny Game' is a simple British drinking game, traditionally played during formal dinners (Formal Hall) at Cambridge University. One person throws a penny into another's pint (or other alcoholic beverage) and that person has to down the drink in order to "stop the Queen from drowning". (As the Queen's face is depicted on 1p coins).
"Did you know they banned Pennying in Formal Hall?"
