Stomach bug or food poisoning?

Hi all.
Have felt rubbish the last few days. On Thursday afternoon me and OH went for a couple of drinks. I had a small iced coffee on the way there from tesco, then had a pint and a pornstar martini. Once I got home I started to feel cramping in my stomach as if it was really full. Long story short I had a hot bath which made me feel 10x worse and sent myself to bed. Vomited twice in the night and once in the morning with stomach cramping. Yesterday was OK just felt a bit rubbish similar to a hangover. Today it's started from the other end 💩🤢. No nausea or vomiting just the odd belly ache and the need to run to the loo lol.

What do you think it sounds like? Stomach bug or FP? Wondering if it might also just be that the drinks didn't sit right with me.

Notovirus is doing the rounds, but it could be food posioning. Generally speaking, treatment isn't any different (both self limiting, risk of dehydration).

People say if they've had campylobacter, they never forget, it's that's bad! Like the flu Vs cold thing, if you've had flu, proper flu, people who come to work with flu infuriate you. That ain't no flu mate! Oops, went off on one there.

Plenty of fluids, salt and sugar. Go to the gp if it persists and persists. With a stool sample.
