And the ice(machines) alone in most of these places are dirtier than even the floors. 

But no, sucking anything through a straw as an adult male seems childish, if not a bit feminine to me. I don't even use a straw with a milkshake, I use a spoon. 

Speaking of dirty items at fast food joints, I always open the napkin dispensers and take from the top and I never use tongs at a buffet. 

Yeah sipping cocktails through a straw comes across as feminine to me, and I just don't recall anyone ever doing that when I used to frequent bars.
