Moon Pie is certainly NOT a drink.
Or is it? One can never tell these days, but if it WAS a drink, please count me out. I'll let Jake999 handle that response, and will leave him to his fantasies of moon pies and Kool-Aid... 
Anyone got suggestions for me I'm alway open to trying new beer.
In the past, I often experimented with trying "new" beer, especially the hard-to-find varieties. As the U.S. (bases?) is becoming more a global sellers-market, I believe some of these things can be found easier...
Try Stella Artois(Belgium), Moretti(Italian), Molson(Canadian), Labatt Blue(Canadian), Tecate(Mexican), Dos Equis(XX-Mexican) for what I think would be considered "lager-style".
There are also some "Dunkel" (dark wheat) and Hefeweizen ("light" wheat) beers that are definitely worthy of taking a gander. Usually easier to find near a German military base...
which we do have here.
Best advice, find what you can and give it a try... you may just be suprised... or forced to drink a six-pack of the most disgusting sludge you never wanted to taste... it won't matter, you'll have the experienceregardless.
Now I will it leave Jake999 to discuss moon pies, and bikinis...

Beautiful.
If that wasn't descriptive enough a "Moon Pie" is a strange, compressed-cake, marshmallow sandwich of sorts... dipped in a waxy-chocolatey covering, wrapped in plastic... originally probably loaded with trans-fats, totally unhealthy, and utterly delicious. However, it would probably survive a nuclear-holocaust, due to the immense amout of additives and preservatives, a shelf-live of about 12,000 years.
Kool-Aid is similar in this regard, being a dry, powdered flavor water additive (add a horrible amount of sugar, to taste), I'm sure other parts of the world have something similar - you just don't know it as its "American name".
I believe the "Kool-Aid" comment by MT originally was meant as a joke regarding Jim Jones, founder of Jonestown, a social experiment went all kinda fucked, and many suspicions still remain. That's so far outta the way of this post, that I don't want to go into more of it here. Check it out, though - it's a fucked up piece of history.

I don't really drink any more, since my brother was killed by a drunk driver. Once in a while I might have a beer or a glass of wine if I'm in for the evening or someone else is doing the driving.
But when I was younger, I went through the prerequisite "drunk," for my 21st birthday at Wheelus AB at Tripoli, Libya. We were locked down in the barracks. There were no bars, so we had what was called a "Buffalo Party." Everybody kicked in 10 bucks (which was good money in 1969) and the barracks chief divided it into 3 amounts... 2/3 was for the "winner," and the rest went to the barracks fund and "the roper," whose job it was to tie people into their bunks after the competition.
The night started out with dinner in the chow hall, and then we went back to the barracks. Everybody grabbed whatever alcoholic beverages they had in their rooms and began pouring them into a cleaned out (I hope) metal trash container... big one. There was beer, and whiskey, and wine, and rum, and it all just kind of bubbled in a big mixture of alcoholic menace.
Then, the "Buffalos" lined up. The whole idea was to stick your head completely under the surface of the booze and drink as long and as much as you could before you had to come up for air. The barracks chief had a stop watch and a yard stick to take the measurements and times. The winner got the cash. Everyone else got tied into bed (the bunks were stacked, so we didn't want anyone injured falling out).
I don't remember much of the night.
