Oh yes, I have drank through a straw before, like you said a quick easy cheap drunk. That was years ago though also, I hardly ever drink now, a six pack of beer last me a year plus some times. No real intention of not drinking of giving it up, I just simply decided to stop buying it.

Now a Grolsch beer, to help settle my stomach, but it certainly tasted better before it was bought by a company in Japan.
