If the straw is half submerged in liquid, does that seal the hole, make it two holes or four holes? Half would be filled with liquid, the other half with gas. Holes don't have to be an absence of anything. A straw has something in it when not being used, usually air. A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing – no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light – can escape from it.[2] The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
A hole is just a gap in space. Put another way, a "hole" is a space that is surrounded by some substance but which does not contain that substance. So, something is a "hole" only in relation to a substance that it does not contain. Therefore, the space within the straw could be considered as consisting of one hole or two holes.
According to the definition posted earlier a hole is a perforation. A donut hole isn’t a perforation in something else. This is getting too controversial. I think this needs to go to the D&D. @Os Trigonum what does Ann Althouse or the WSJ opinion page have to say about this?

Don't be obsessed with your desires, durvasa. The Zen philosopher Basho once wrote, "A flute with no holes is not a flute. A donut with no hole is a Danish." He was a funny guy.
...but then, by that very definition of 'hole,' a bullet hole can be defined as having only one opening, as the other 'hole' is just a continuation of that bullet creating the one hole.
The dough remaining from a Donut hole is typically called a munchkin. Only time I've seen them served.
