Drinking through a straw?

So I have a really hard time drinking. I mean it's not physically a problem for me to drink but I find it's easier for me to drink more when I drink out of a straw. I read that pregnant people shouldn't drink through a straw while pregnant. I'm not drinking as much water as I should because I forget and it's annoying for me to pick up a cup and hold it up to my face every time. I guess it's just a weird tick or something. Anyways, I need to drink more water during this pregnancy. Can I continue to drink through a straw?
