Do People Drink More Water When They Use A Straw?
There’s the new thing with the glass straws, the old thing with the stainless-steel straws, and the save-the-turtles thing with the paper straws. Besides looking sophisticated and not wanting to smear your lip gloss, here's another fun health fact about straws.
Hydration question: Do straws make you drink more? You’re actually more likely to take in more ounces of water when you use a straw than when sipping. When you drink with a straw, you usually end up drinking faster because the liquid is skipping the process of going into your cheeks and goes straight to your esophagus. The straw actually tricks your brain and stomach because your mouth is not measuring the amount taken in, at least not as much as it would if you were drinking from a cup.
