I've had beers, ciders, and other alcohol before (Kahlua is great on ice cream). This was my first Smirnoff Ice (grape, if that matters). Why would I vomit up 3 hours later? It was just one bottle. Does SI just disagree with some folks?

Since I know you'll worry, I feel much better for having emptied my stomach. I know I should have grabbed a towel as soon as I felt ill, but at least it's my mess to deal with now. And my area carpet is washable and fits in the washing machine.

I'm not tempting fate and I've told my partner that the rest of the six pack is all his.

Smirnoff Ice is just kind of gross and unpalatable in general. Like to the point where “icing” someone is a frat-tier prank where you hide one and whoever finds it has to drink it.

As an “alchopop” I don’t think it has enough to mess with the stomach like that, although alcohol can be very variable in how it impacts you (my body just rejects straight liquor, I get drunk quicker on beer). Might have been the Smirnoff, might have just been your stomach getting upset for no reason (this will happen as you get older with or without alcohol, although obviously alcohol makes it much worse)

    The good news, op, is that you are not missing much by never having a Smirnoff ice ever again if you don't want to.

    I've also had cheap alcoholic drinks (especially the sugary ones) where I felt sick after, more than from the alcohol.

    As always, water is your friend in these situations. And rest. Glad you're feeling better now
