I almost always opt to use a straw for one simple, girly reason: my lipstick. Might sound silly to those who don't wear makeup, but I want my lipstick to last -- using a straw makes a big difference. Plus, lipstick can be a bear to wash off of glasses.

Even if I wasn't concerned about my lipstick, I'd probably opt for a straw for the ice-and-garnish-hitting-the-teeth-and-on-the-face reason. I don't like feeling like my drink is an obstacle course to be conquered.
