Is it true what they say about getting more druck more quickly if you drink beer through a straw? If so why?

I realize I could have asked without profanity, but I’m a sucker for rhyming.

The very first time I got loaded was drinking beer through a straw. I had just gone to Burker King, drank my soda, then, rinsed the cup out and filled up from the keg. I put the plastic top back and put the straw in and went to town. That was about twenty five years ago and have never drank that way again so, I couldn’t say for sure if there’s any difference.
