In the novel "Have Space Suit -- Will Travel", Kip and Peewee are
on the moon and trying to escape the bad guys by walking to the
nearest lunar base. Peewee complaints about being thirsty. Kip,
in his professional grade, if obsolete, space suit has a water
nipple and he is momentarily incensed that Peewee's moon-tourist
space suit doesn't. But then he realizes that it would probably
be a bad idea because a tourist might bite the nipple off and
drown in the suit. (At least that's the way I remember it.)
BTW -- according to Wikipedia, there may be a movie in the works,
based on this novel.
