Question:

When you drink a beverage with a straw, you need to overcome both gravity and friction in the straw. Estimate the fraction of the total effort you put into quenching your thirst of each factor, making suitable assumptions about the liquid and straw properties, and your drinking rate. For example, how long it would take you to drink a 12-oz drink if you drank it all in one go (quite a feat with a straw)? Is the flow laminar or turbulent? (Ignore minor losses.)
