Drink It Up is the first single by Negativland released on the 1997 album Dispepsi. The song is about a man who gets exaggeratedly depressed when drinking other soft drinks, like for example, Sweet Success would fail him and Samuel Adams Lager would make him ill, but he gets happy when he starts drinking Pepsi. The song's lyrics are sung by Don Joyce and David Wills. On the album, it transistions into Why Is This Commercial, the "remainer" of "Drink It Up". It competes with Christianity Is Stupid for the song that has the fewest samples in it, in this song, the only sample in it is a kid talking about a Pepsi commercial where the sun doesn't set until a vending machine takes this person's dollar. Unlike other Negativland songs, it didn't have a video.
