When you drink through a straw, the pressure inside the straw reduces (as the air is withdraw by mouth) and the liquid is pushed up to your mouth by atmospheric pressure.
Thus,
Drinking with a straw makes use of pressure difference to force the liquid into your mouth.
So, if the pressure difference is less it will be difficult to drink through a straw.
On the top of the Mount Everest, atmospheric pressure is very low.
Hence,
It will be difficult to drink water with a straw on the top of Mount Everest as compared to at the base.
