Is it ok to drink beer through a straw?

Oh Hell no!

You could and I could still sleep at night, but I don't see why you would. Ruins the taste, it's slow and looks silly.MrPraline

How does it ruin the taste?

I actually don't understand this.

It's not that it ruins the taste, but the fact that it bypasses your taste buds to begin with. 

It gets you drunk more quickly.

I don't understand. You're not shooting it straight down your throat. The liquid still goes in your mouth, so how's it bypassing your taste buds?

That's for the response Praline. Your's actualy makes sense.

Due to the fact of where your taste buds are. You practically miss all but one by using a straw unless you fill your mouth up and remove the straw before swallowing (not a normal way of using a straw either).

The only place you are hitting when using a straw is the bitter taste buds. You do not get flow over your tongue due to the straw resting in the middle of your tongue as you would if drinking from a glass, bottle or can.

I guess some people do not know how straws work. Just a guess.

I went to a bar and a girl ordered me a drink but I requested a straw so its easier to swallow (its pretty bitter). The girl was looking at me weird all I said was its a lot easier to drink

If it is any kind of Pilsner type then sure go ahead, it is not exactly made to be a tasty drink.

Any type of Ale, Stout or Bog and I might raise an eyebrow if I were to see someone drink those out of a straw.

Then again that is just my take, given that my view of that kind of beer is pretty much the equalant of a soda. Not downed for the taste, not downed for the alcohol (they tend to have an alc% around 3.3-5.0) So to me they are not something one would enjoy for the craftmanship or care put into making them.

:lol:

No wonder I was confused. I don't put straws that far into my mouth. When I drink from a straw, the liquid washes over my entire tongue. So I'm not missing out on anything.

This topic....... When did straws become unmanly?!Capitan_Kid

My pastor says if you drink beer through a straw you could get an airbububle and die.

Why do you think nurses tap the needle before using it? They don't want brain death to occur.

It's ok because it's something nobody should give a shit about.

the Only way to drink beer is to shotgun it.

[QUOTE="WhiteKnight77"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Yeah...that would be a reason to drink it that way....but it doesn't. And to those saying girls drink it through straws....never ever have I seen that anywhere. They may prefer a glass to the bottle....but that's about it. No straws.LJS9502_basic

Just for you LJ. ;)

You should see the second pic. 

Oh Hell no!

solidruss

No. Such behaviour is unacceptable. UNLESS - you're drinking the beer from a large novelty hat with long curvy straws going from the beer to your mouth. megagene

You mean like this?

Except for the ones who do.

I don't see the point in throwing anecdotal evidence around.  But I think I can safely assume that there is at least one woman in the roughly 3.5 billion on the planet who has, at some point, consumed beer through a straw.  

Yeah
You're approach is much better

Yes.

Oops, I thought the question was "Am I a p*ssy if I drink beer through a straw?"

My real answer is no.

Oh Hell no!

solidruss

Yeah, but then you have to keep the straw in your ass.

Hahahaha. Priceless.

So a Jamacian, Dutch, Australian and a couple of Canadian beers are American swill? I am sure that the respective brewers of those beers will be glad to hear that.
