      What is the exact rule on which liquids it’s valid to drink through a straw? Why sugary mixed drinks but not beer? What is the rule for gravy? Does this vary geographically?

      I always figured straws were mostly for things you put ice in.

      This is a very interesting observation. In the case of an iced liquid, the straw serves the purpose of preventing accidental ingestion of ice. It explains the straw conventions for beer, wine, mixed drinks, soft drinks, hot tea and coffee, iced tea and coffee, and even gravy.

          The straw goes in drinks with ice cubes, so the ice doesn't touch the teeth

          Then why use them for milkshakes where you aren't avoiding ice by drinking through the straw and sometimes is even hard to use a straw .

          It’s better to drink gravy through a straw to prevent swells from covering your face

          The version of the story I've heard is that it became fashionable for early iced drinks (eg the Mint Julep) because it protected your rotten teeth from touching the ice
