In this Pedialyte commercial, is the dad sick (flu, food poisoning, etc.) or is he hung over?

I’ve always assumed the former, but others swear up and down he hit it too hard earlier and is dealing with that fallout. I don’t see it, but we don’t know what the toilet flush is for...vomit or the other end. And his expression/demeanor could easily work for both. I’ve been in both states on a few occasions, and that’s just how I look/act.

We all do agree, however, that the whiny brat most certainly didn’t buy the stuff, so her claim is, at best, shaky. With a touch of entitled shithead. I do like the dad’s “bug off” tone with her. Usually not the approach shown in commercials with kids.

I guess they leave the reason for dad’s discomfort open-ended so they don’t have to come out and blatantly say “if you’re out tearing it up whien you have small children at home, then we’ve got a product you juice-hound losers will really love!”
