Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?

At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.

I think it's two, but some people are convinced that it's one, which I just don't understand. What are your thoughts?

What if you drill through a book?

Is the book closed before and then being opened after? The state of the book matters (and possibly the pages!)

I think its more or less the same, spacially. I think the distinction breaks down more with like a wiffleball, which I'd argue is one hole with many exits.
