Its Summer, “the sun is out, birds are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them – as is my understanding…” and we all know there’s nothing better than relaxing with a bottle or two….except when its 8am and you’ve just woken up! After about an hours sleep, I was gently awoken at 8am by my mother announcing that there was a package for me. Excited, if not a bit confused, I pulled myself out of bed and read the label on this suspicious postal present:
A little too neat for the postman...
“Hmm, seems a bit strange”, I thought to myself, “Fuck it, at least it’s not another depressing bank statement.” So I slowly peeled back the opening of package to find a warm bottle of ‘Rachmaninoff Vodka Ice’ staring back at me…
Disrespect...complete with straw!
I had just been ICED and as it turned out, so had about 5 other of my friends!
As defined by the almighty Wikipedia:
“Icing is a drinking game in which an individual or a group of individuals coerce another into drinking a bottle of Smirnoff Ice. Participants are encouraged to come up with elaborate ways to present the Smirnoff Ice to their targets by hiding bottles in inconspicuous locations. Humor, irony, and humiliation are also highly encouraged.”
Its a cruel, cruel game that started in America with two simple rules:
- When presented with a Smirnoff Ice the target must drink it while on one knee. This is referred to as “getting iced“.
- When “getting iced” a target can present their own Smirnoff Ice to cause the original initiator to be “iced” instead. This is referred to as an “ice block“.
The cheap bastards didn’t even have the decency to use an actual Smirnoff Ice…but an Icing is an Icing. I got down on one knee in my front room and downed it like the whore I am. I’m not a huge fan of alcopops or drinking at 8am…but a game is a game, and I’m not losing.
IT’S ON!
If you ever get Iced, you can blame these people and your dickhead friends. Remember to take a picture, this is a game after all…someone has to win! I can see this getting out of hand very quickly.

Is it not shameful enough to be caught drinking Smirnoff Ice in public?
Let me get this – Someone delivers free alcohol to your door which you have to drink and you’re complaining about it? Smirnoff Ice may be awful lemony pisswater but if it’s alcohol and it’s free then it’s a winning situation as far as I’m concerned.
Yeh I don’t really understand, but I’m all for games! I think its more about the strange situations you can get people! Either way, free booze.
Mix it with captain morgans.
I did this with Bulmers Pear last week. It was surprisingly nice.
Didn’t make it into work till eleven the next day though..
