A water-based adhesive for a paper straw, comprising: an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A); and water, wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) has a content of ethylene units of 1 mol% or more and less than 20 mol% and a block character of the ethylene units from 0.90 to 0.99. The water-based adhesive contains the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) having a specific structure, and is thus excellent in balance between the rapid coatability, the film strength, the initial adhesiveness, the dynamic water resistance, and the acid resistance, and particularly excellent in the rapid coatability, the film strength, and the acid resistance. |
