A drinking straw is a utensil that uses suction to carry the contents of a beverage to one's mouth. A straw is used by placing one end in the mouth and the other in a beverage. By applying suction with the mouth, the air pressure in the mouth drops, which causes atmospheric pressure to force the liquid through the straw and into the mouth.
