depends on how vigorous the biting is ~ i think some people who do this look bored. and others seem to want to dominate their straw. doctors use the term pica to describe craving and/or chewing on things that have no nutritional value. sometimes pica is associated with iron deficiency anemia (usually when you crave/chew ice though). but there could be other nutritional deficiencies behind this behavior. sometimes pica is caused by emotional problems, stress, nervous energy, ocd, or a developmental disorder.
