Because of the gravity and surface tension. when you throw something slowly down words the thing will fall to the centre of object (which is the centre of gravity for that object as well).
in your case the water is pouring out of a cup so it will try to go down to the centre point of gravity for that cup.

Molecular attraction sounds right, though I suspect that gravity is overcome with the additional force of the pour thus tearing the flow away from the vessel in the direction of the given force.

your cup runneth over.
surface tension is what makes the water molecules tend to "stick together" and slightly raise above the rim before running over the side.

It's called COHESION.
(The attraction characteristics of molecules.)
The H2O particles remain together.
When energy is added, they scatter -> evaporation.
When energy is "removed" -> freezes.

I don't know what it is called but it is caused by surface tension.

What is the difference between cohesion and adhesion?
