If we start with straws, we're doing SOMETHING other than just saying "let's do something, but not straws." You have to start somewhere. Straws are the least-used item that has the least impact on civilization.

To Midnight Cowgirl, stop trying to take a drink while you're driving. You shouldn't be doing that anyway, with or without a straw. Problem solved.

In the center console of my car, I have two cup holders and I choose to use them for the function for which they were designed.

In addition, that's where I keep my quarter for Aldi's shopping cart, but that doesn't interfere with my glass being in the holder, too.

I shouldn't be doing that anyway? Sez who???
I don't have a problem with that.
