Drinking straws are not meant only for kids- it’s for everyone as it makes the drink more enjoyable. Another reason why straws are better alternative than directly drinking from a glass is that it is easier to drink more (like instance- water) when you drink it through a straw. Drinking through a straw helps you get your recommended 8 glasses of water a day.
Drinking sodas and juice that have acidic content can erode the enamel on your teeth but if you drink those liquids using a straw, the beverages will come into less contact with your teeth and therefore lowering the chances of the decay.
Drinking using the straw lowers the chance of choking by preventing the liquid entering the wrong pipe.
People choose straws for sanitary reasons especially in a restaurant or other public places. They choose not to put their lips on glasses because others might have done the same.
