I tried drinking coffee through a straw one summer because it’s supposed to protect your teeth. I’m pretty sure I’m at a greater risk of throat cancer now, and other than that I’m not too sure why you would want them.

If that's a concern, the more practical solutions are to 1) brush your teeth after drinking coffee or 2) don't drink coffee. I do choose to drink coffee and don't brush immediately after and accept the risk to my teeth. I was worried about the effect of soda on my teeth so I stopped drinking it.

hot drinks != use straw cold drinks = use straw

Which is why it's not recommended to use a straw with hot beverages, only cold ones.
