Forgive me, I misread the original post.
Generally at odds with the notion of restraint, I dislike getting sippers at bars and restaurants and thus have never used them at home.
However, if one is going to spend the money and time it takes to prep a top shelf cocktail then why not make an effort to appreciate its many layers?
Never thought about it before but perhaps the widespread use of party-straws is but another symptom of the sickness that plagues our age: an obsession with instant gratification.
The use of sipping straws could then be viewed as an "escape" from the type of mindless consumption driving the larger culture.
.........welcome to the back pedal response !!!!!.........sorry, but i thought your original response to this thread was much better and more honest as well as one of the funniest things i've read on this forum yet!!
