In the card game Hearts, shooting the moon is taking all available points.
The game of hearts is scored in a golf sort of way. The lower the score the better. Usually the game is played to 100; when one player reaches one hundred, the game ends. If playing for money, payoff is based on point differential, but it has many variations.
All hearts are worth a point each, and the queen of spades is 13.
So you have one of two objectives in each hand: sluff off as many hearts and the Queen as possible to stay low or ... if you think you have the hand, "shoot the moon" by capturing all the hearts and the queen. If you do, each of your opponents is "assessed" 26 points. (shooting the moon)
It's a great play, but a risky one. A player looking to shoot the moon often gets all but say 1 or 2 points. So instead of his opponents being hit for 26 each, they get zero and you would eat 24 points(if another player had, say, 2 hearts)

to move out in the middle of the night when you can't pay your rent. Usually items you own, like furniture, are left behind because you're leaving so quickly. Chiefly British, used by George Orwell in 'Down and Out in Paris and London'.
"because we're shooting the moon at 2:30 this morning, we're only taking the smallest, easiest to carry things with us."

To drink a very large amount of alcohol, and yet somehow escape a hangover the next day.
Origin: To play a game with seemingly suicidal tactics that pay off through sheer luck.
"Jesus, I drank 14 beers, five cocktails and three tequila's last night but today I feel great!"
"Way to shoot the moon, dude!"
