When you try to drink through a straw in a sealed container, you create a vacuum within the container. The vacuum prevents the liquid from being able to flow through the straw because there is no air pressure to push it up. Essentially, the lack of air pressure inside the sealed container makes it impossible for the liquid to move up the straw.
