Is it ok to drink beer with a straw?

They often serve Berliner Weisse with a straw. If you're drinking it with the syrup it's nice that way.

I asked my dentist, who is very critical about red wine and coffe staing teeth, about drinking darker beers. He said pretty much drink as much as you, want, it's not acidic enough to damage teeth. Hmmmm....

This too.

Some people I knew in college would drink beer through a straw. Since it's always right by your face, I think you tend to drink more that way, or don't taste it as much, flows faster, or something. They tended to put away cheap beers really fast with straws. I had to chug a lot to keep up with them.

What we need here is DATA. As a woman of science, I don't want anecdotal evidence.
Instead, I went to an expert. My sister happens to be a dentist. Drinking beer out of a straw for cosmetic reasons, in her esteemed professional opinion, is punishable by swift delivery of a right hook. If you are simply male and vain, she recommends slamming your sac in a car door.

So, there we have it: 1 out of 1 dentists recommends testicular enhancement if you feel the desire to drink beer through a straw.

If you don't like it, take it up with her:

Last time I drank beer out of a straw was in college and I was drinking out of a beer filled cookie sheet and being held upside down!

The pH of beer ranges from 3·7 - 4·1 depending upon the brand. And for any beer brand, the pH should not vary by more than ± 0·15 units.

Anything below 4.5 isn't good for the teeth. I think your dentist was wrong, maybe.

Is a beer bong just a modified straw?

beer in a thermos or fountain drink cup is awesome when you need stealth.. and not the "freeway bag" type of stealth!

My BIL and I used to race to finish a pint in under a minute through a straw up at the local pizzeria... oh the good old days.
