Actually.. If he were to have drank anymore he could have been on the urge of poisoning. But, that little amount is harmless to humans. He may throw up a little and feel crampy, but he should be fine. If he has any other symptoms, I would advise you to ask a doctor.

First, you can call the poison hotline at 1-800-222-1222 for more information.
Generally, I don't think your dad has too much to worry about assuming that he drank the regular OTC kind that generally has a concentration of about 3%. If he drank stronger concentration (>10%) he needs to seek emergency medical attention.
If he drank 3% concentration, he will probably not have to many problems. He may have some vomiting, or other stomach irritation. If he has severe symptoms, or symptoms that do not resolve after a few hours, he needs to seek medical attention.

Poison control.
The solution where mixed with 3 parts water from over the counter or all peroxide? If it is not diluted, it can be really harmful and needs to be taken care of ASAP, but if the diluted solution, it shouldn't be very bad. He will probably throw up though, but not much worse. I have done the same thing with diluted and luckily didn't puke, but felt so weird and bad all day. Not anything TOO bad, just like my stomach had a heater, which wasn't fun.
Either way call poison control.

From a Material Safety Data Sheet for 3% Hydrogen Peroxide: "Ingestion: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were swallowed, get medical advice. "

1. How does one accidentally drink 2 oz of hydrogen peroxide
2. He should be fine, just tell him to drink a lot of water
3. Eat a lot of parsley, it cleans out your system!

Yeah... he'll be fine. It is a form of acid but since it's weaker than stomach acid it should have the effect of maybe 1 oz of beer.

Read the bottle and see if it says to call a poison control if it is swallowed, if not, i think its just mostly alcohol and water. I dont think it will hurt him. I would call a local clinic to be safe though

No one can be sure but the emergency room. Call the poison hotline or just take him to the ER right away.
