Assuming that you could survive in outer space without a space suit would it be possible to drink using a straw explain y or why not?

No. The action of a drinking through a straw is that you suck the air out of the straw, and the air pressure on the outside of the cup them pushes the liquid up the straw. If there were no air pressure on the surface of the liquid, then there wouldn't be anything to cause the liquid to rise. However; 1. If there were no air pressure, the liquid would boil and vaporize; there wouldn't be any liquid to drink. 2. In weightlessness, you can't suck water through a straw even IN atmosphere; the liquid forms globules under the influence of its own surface tension. On the Space Station, the astronauts drink from sealed bulbs; sort of like juice pouches. You squeeze the pouch to push the liquid into your mouth.
