Unless you want premature wrinkles! Yes, that is right! I never in a million years had I thought of this concept while I drink my delicious extra cold drinks with extra ice. From margarita’s to ice cream shakes and my favorite; A Coke with extra, extra ice and a straw. I don’t know why, but for me my drinks just tastes better with a straw. I read recently that this is bad for mouth and lip wrinkles. When drinking from a straw you have to purse your lips which can unnecessarily form fine lines around the mouth over time.
Sadly, I must give up my love of the straw and freeze my poor teeth with drinking directly out of a glass. I guess beauty has its sacrifices.
