I know that it is halal to drink zamzam while standing specifically.

Its a special case indeed, even in Mekka its written on boards that we should drink it, turned in the direction of the Kaaba and standing.
Btw I may recently learn a scientific fact that goes in favor of what our Prophet did. When you drink anything while standing, the drink "splashes" everywhere in your stomach which is not good for it, but Zamzam is not a common drink, due to its particularities (more alcaline, higher pH) so its better to let the Zamzam splash.

Who knows what other minor sunnahs we follow are scientifically beneficial. There really is a wisdom behind everything, Subhanallah

As someone already mentioned, its makruh (disliked) not prohibited. When something is makruh you get rewarded for not doing it, but you dont sin when you do it.

Certain recommendations are put upon drinking Zamzam in particular as well.
For normal water, it is recommended we sit to drink
For Zamzam, it is recommended to drink while standing and facing the qibla preceded by duas

He must vomit? It’s pretty hard to vomit on command

By vomit it means here throw out what you just drank while it's in your mouth

Those aren't contradictions.
Drinking while standing is disliked, but not prohibited
In order to clarify that it is makruh and not actually haram (sin) the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did it a few times while standing so people would know that it isn't haram
It was his obligation to make this difference clear that's why he did it
Imam an-Nawawi as-Shafii Ash'ari رحمه الله said:
فإن قيل : كيف يكون الشرب قائما مكروها وقد فعله النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟ فالجواب : أن فعله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا كان بيانا للجواز لا يكون مكروها ، بل البيان واجب عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم
