Why do bearded dragons have holes to drink?

They don't have holes to drink. Bearded Dragons are mostly like us. They have nostrils on their nose to breath from and holes on the side of their heads (ears) to hear from. When a Beardies drinks it pushes it's nose into the water and laps like a dog does. Or in the case of a wild Beardie stands under a plant and lets the dew drop from the leaves onto it's nose then licks it's nose for the water. Actually, bearded dragons also have pores in their skin through which they absorb water. That's why it's important for them to have a bath once a week to ensure that they are well hydrated in addition to offering water to drink.

How do you know if a bearded dragon is too hot?
