As in, a good pour would result in all water going into whatever you're pouring into. What I'm talking about is when it runs down the side and then into what you're trying to pour the liquid into.

The force sticking the water to the cup is stronger than the force of gravity pulling it into whatever you're pouring it into, so it follows that path.

gravity.
Or maybe it's because of the property where water sticks to stuff.

the gravitational pull
and the way you might be holding to container.
