I have a question for all you alcohol connoisseurs. Has anyone heard the straw rule? The if you drink your cocktail through the straw it gets into your blood faster. I just got back from the bar with my class since my professor offered to buy us all drinks today which I jumped on and got three dry martinis . We were wondering about this rule. My professor along with 50% of the guys dispute it and all us girls go with the "rule" just in case its true. So its my job to research it.
