Presumably, you mean in open space - not in a spacecraft. ...In that case, it's going to be hard to get the straw thru your helmet anyway.

Suction and inertia aren't related to gravity I'm pretty sure correct me if I'm wrong??

NASA astronaut Don Pettit invented a zero g cup for drinking up in spacestations so it's not essential to have a straw. The air pressure is similar to sea level on board the ISS so sucking should work. They roll up the bag because it's air tight like toothpaste. Even superman couldn't use a straw in actual space.
