That’s all he’s got. Judge on a talent show. Must be frustrating seeing some very talented people on their way up.

Ask the Hoff; he knows.

(Also, your caps lock is on FYI.)

How many times has he been hospitalized for alchohol poisoning already? Wow. His liver has got to be shot.

I have a sister and it seemed the ambulance would be showing up almost every week.
Usually for the stomach pump, charcoal down the stomach rutine.
This was back in her late teens, early 20’s.
20 years later it’s still a nightmare.

I have a tough time with these issues. On the one hand, I carry some disdain for the attention and positive spin jesters and elitists get for “overcoming” their demons (repeatedly) in general. On the other hand, I am a Christian and am obligated to hope for their blessings despite themselves.

I would like to be apathetic as everything in me says, “I don't care. They don't affect me and they bring it on themselves.” But that little voice reminds me, “It is not yours to judge the soul. Judge the behavior and wish no ill on your brother or your enemy.”

So I have a list of short prayers that I include now and then at the end. I can almost hear God laughing at me as a parent does when his two year old apologizes under distress. I am sincere but I am not sure if I sell it well enough.

So...here goes....God, please help this man and be with his family.

Either this guy checks into AA, or he’s dead meat

Unfortunately, AA is a program want, not need.

Now I’ve got the Knight-Rider theme stuck in my head.

I hope he gets better, though.

You are absolutely correct. As Step 1 says: “We admitted that we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable.”

Fame and fortune do not stop people from being flawed humans. Sure he comes off as a bit of a pompous jerk sort of guy in interviews, but I hope he finds what he needs.

I get this feeling we may lose David if he keep on that path of his destruction

Wow....that’s really a shame. I hope he gets himself together and gets help.

How much does it take for poisoning?

Less than you might think. A maintenance-level alcoholic is already running pretty close to body tolerance without even getting much of a buzz. All it takes is the determination to get that good old party feeling and you can go from happy to dead without a lot of extra effort.

In some cases this particular addiction is incurable short of death. Prayers up for Mr. Hasselhoff.
