You naturally create a low pressure in your mouth. Then because air pressure is higher, it presses down on the liquid, and pushes it up the straw into your mouth.

What happens as you drink through a straw?

Drinking alcohol through a straw may slow down the rate at which you consume alcohol (depending on how you normally drink), but it will not change how the alcohol is processed in the body. As a result, drinking alcohol through a straw will not make a person any more or less drunk than drinking the alcohol regularly. (Assuming the amount of alcohol consumed is equal in both circumstances and the length of time in both circumstances is also equal.) The only time drinking alcohol through a straw would be faster than regular alcohol consumption is if you merely sip alcohol regularly. One can always chug a drink faster than one can sip it through a straw.Also, drinking anything through a straw will not mix the drink with air. The only time the liquid passing through a straw has air bubbles in it is when there is too little liquid in the container to adequately cover the end of the straw submerged in said liquid when suction occurs. Even if you do drink most of your drink and you intake the last little bit with some air bubbles, the alcohol will not mix with the air. And even if it did mix with the air, there's no reason why the air-alcohol mix would get anywhere near the nasal cavity. And there's no reason why the nasal cavity would absorb the alcohol any faster than your digestive tract.


Can you sip the same amount of liquid through two straws at once as one straw?

No, sipping through two straws at once does not double the amount of liquid you can consume. The total amount of liquid you can sip through two straws is limited by your own natural suction power.


Can you sip the same amount of liquid through many straws at once as one straw?

No, sipping through many straws at once would not allow you to drink the same amount of liquid as through one straw. The total surface area of many straws would be greater than that of one straw, resulting in a slower flow rate of liquid.

How does water rise inside a straw?

The simple answer is that when you sip on a straw you draw air out of it. Since there cannot be a vacuum, the liquid comes up the straw to replace the air. But this is also happening: When you sip on a straw you cause a reduction in air pressure inside the straw. The air pressure on the liquid outside the straw is now greater than on the inside. Because nature doesn't like an imbalance, it gets pushed down into the glass and thus up the straw.
