Smirnoff ice is what I drink when I want to drink something lighter than a beer. Unless you usually can't handle one beer I don't think it's the alcohol.
Must be some ingredients you're allergic to, or you got a light heatstroke or something

My only thought was that maybe the zero calorie ones use invert sugars, as those will mess up my system badly.
But in that case it isn't usually vomit but the other way.
Just glad you're feeling better after the purge!
Ginger tea helps with nausea. Yogi brand is pretty damn good.
Sucks that it happened, but glad to know you’re doing okay. Rough lesson learned. 😅
Sugary drinks and alcohol can be rough on the stomach. Your body may have just made a calculation that producing the enzymes and everything to process this unholy beverage just wasn't worth it.
Smirnoff Ice is the same thing as Zima, but with flavors. It's a malt liquor, or Clearmalt as Zima is called. It's basically clear beer. The added ingredients could be what made you ill. If you try Zima you may have the same reaction, if not, it was the additives in Smirnoff.
Have you specifically had smirnoff before? Or any vodka for that matter?
My mom is allergic to vodka, and she gets very ill if she accidently has any. Any other alcohol is fine, only vodka causes issues.
Could just be that simple.
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
Its not you. They put something foul on that stuff. I don't know what it is, but ven a few oz of this will reliably make me feel unwell.
Hate to say it but I think you're pregnant.
