So is it true? Drinking beer out of the can with a straw gets you drunk/high faster?

And morenangpinay, i think your signature is missing 2 words; it's "Honk if you love Jesus, text while driving if you want to meet him".

It's a common myth, so no. Drunkenness is a function of the amount of alcohol in the body at a given time. But since it's common, people drink their brewskies with straws thinking they'll get drunk faster.

If they do get drunk faster, they may have somehow sipped faster than they would've gulped or they inhale less as they sip, causing a bit of dizziness.

Of course, we could also do it the Mythbusters way and perform an experiment...

...and then blow something up.

If you want to get someone drunk, make this simple bet: Offer $20 or whatever if the person drinks one ounce of beer per minute, on the minute, for one hour.

The first time without a straw. Sober him up if he makes it. Then another time with a straw? :D
