Can I drink water from a 12m straw? (I think it is not because of the atmosphere pressure) Can i drink water from a 12m straw in the moon?

OpenStudy (jamesj):

The maximum theoretical height on the earth you could suck water up a straw is 10 m. This lecture is on this topic is great and has some fun demonstrations: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-01-physics-i-classical-mechanics-fall-1999/video-lectures/lecture-28/ On the moon, the answer is even less.
