Strawpedoing – a style of drinking bottles with a folded straw to create a vacuum which makes it easier to down – has been outlawed.

The ban has sparked a petition and ignited such fury that a club was allegedly stormed by students who wanted to stage a strawpedo protest, reports The Scotsman.

The Scotsman quoted Tasha Boardman, EUSA’s vice-president services, as saying: ‘We have a responsibility to operate in a socially responsible manner in accordance with licensing law.

‘We had been seeing an increase in strawpedoing which is not deemed as responsible consumption under licensing legislation, which we have a duty to uphold.

‘We removed the straws so we could communicate to customers when requesting a straw that strawpedoing is not a practice we allow and if caught they may be removed.’
