You can't drink water through a straw on the Moon because there is no atmospheric pressure to push the liquid up the straw. On Earth, atmospheric pressure helps push the liquid into the straw when you create a vacuum by sucking. The Moon's nearly vacuum environment lacks this pressure, making it impossible for the water to rise in the straw. Additionally, the low gravity on the Moon would cause the water to behave differently than on Earth, complicating the process further.
