Do you mean there was a specifically Indian drink named 7Up?
Because the 7Up sold in USA and much of the rest of the world is alive, well, and quite popular. Have several in my refrigerator, in fact. It's presently owned by Keurig/Dr. Pepper and distributed internationally by Pepsico.
Like many soft drinks, it was originally marketed as a patent medicine and indeed, it is widely used as a counter to nausea. In fact, I looked at a bottle of anti-nausea medicine at my local drugstore and the ingredients were virtually identical. It's basically lemon and lime juice in a syrup base with carbonation.
Similar products have included Upper10 (from RC Cola) and Sprite (Coca-Cola's equivalent).
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
