How come nobody drinks beers with a straw?

Answer 1

Because beer is a manly drink. You wouldn't look very butch if you were sipping your beer through a twirly pink straw!

Answer 2

When you drink a soda/beer/iced-tea/kool-aid/etc through a straw, the flavor and the fullness of the drink itself seem to change. When you drink anything from a glass compared to a straw, the texture, coldness, and overall satisfying feeling changes. So if you opted for a straw while drinking your beer, there is a different sensation and the beer may not seem near as satisfying or flavorful. Just thinking about doing so, makes me cringe. Don't really know why, but beer just would NOT be the same for me. Guess its really whatever you get used to. Go for it, if you have a craving....

Answer 3

You get intoxicated from the alcohol and drinking it thru a straw doesn't increase the alcohol content. It's a urban myth. Typically, drinks (cocktails) taken with a straw are higher alcohol content drinks and they are meant to be sipped and enjoyed over time. Beer is a lower alcohol drink and to get the full flavor, should be "quaffed' or taken as an almost full mouthfull, held in the mouth for a short period to get the taste fully before swallowing. There are aftertastes that can be appreciated afterwards. Most American beers are lacking in any kind of flavor, hence the micro-brewerys are gaining in popularity with the full-bodied beers,ales, stouts and flavored beers.

Answer 4

Typically beer tastes nasty, you only drink to get a buzz.

So drinking a strong beer with a straw would take a long time and tast real nasty.

The beer flavor is just there to make it possible to drink it down. That's why some guys make fun of what other guys drink. Typically Bud is a strong beer and Bud drinkers make fun of Corona and MGD drinkers - Corona, MGD and Heiniken are easier to drink cause they taste better, but don't get you drunk right away.

Answer 5

you could drink beer through a straw if you really wanted to, but because of the fizz, it tends to bubble up too much to actually get a decent sip through the straw.. it's like trying to have a milkshake through a straw. it's possible, just very hard. and takes ages.

Answer 6

who would want to drink it with a straw? sitting at a bar and the bartender gives you a glass of beer with a straw it wouldn't look so hot for a guy trying to pick up a chick.....

its just normal to not drink it with a straw

Answer 7

It takes too long to suck it from a straw. That's why they invented funnels and beer bongs, so as to speed up the process of drinking even more. :)

Answer 8

Because you would miss a lot of the taste of the foam of the beer :-)

Answer 11
