At which point you just stop using the straw and drink normally.
The straw controversy was bizarre to me. I can't remember when I last used a straw and it's not often that I see them, aside from chain restaurants selling overpriced novelty drinks (e.g. starbucks).
I am somewhat entangled in Tiki culture, and (mostly-)rum-based mixology. Drinking through straws changes drinking speeds and makes the whole experience slower and arguably better.
I switched to stainless steel straws. Those are way better than paper straws which start to disintegrate after 10 minutes, and probably last for a lifetime.
Juice boxes, coffee stirring straws, and soda cups from fast food and convenience stores make up many of them.
I mean, sure, it adds up, but how about we ban the plastic cups first?
This stuff isn’t rational.
TLDR: There's no way people are giving up straws in movie theaters.
A straw is one of the most basic accessibility and safety devices in the world.
Maybe... don't drink while you're driving, that's a whole lot safer.
You had a point about those with disabilities though. The workaround there is to buy your own straws and keep them with you.
