Since I've never had tooth sensitivities, I hadn't considered this issue in regards to straw use...and yep, a BYO straw would be the answer to that. BUT, do you really think many people will go to that level considering that most can't remember to bring the reusable grocery bag to the store? I'm also personally turned off by ice cold drinks in general, so I'm still skeptical that we can't do w/o them since well, at one point, we did somehow manage it. I'm glad you are carrying yours "everywhere"! Namaste. Tao Hey Beth – Good to hear from you and FakePlasticFish.com.

And usually it's attached to a plastic cup. Feh. And yes, I’ve noticed that Mary Louise Parker always has a plastic straw sticking out of her mouth, too. And usually it’s attached to a plastic cup.

Some of us love drinking through a straw. Especially cold drinks. Which is why I love my glass drinking straw that I carry with me everywhere. Maybe it is needless to you, and maybe you don't have sensitive teeth, but is the opposite of "sucks" for me! :-) Beth Oh, come on now. Some of us love drinking through a straw.
