Report: David Hasselhoff Rushed to Hospital for Alcohol Poisoning for Second Time in Five Months
David Hasselhoff’s struggles with alcohol seem to be far from over, as new reports claim the actor was rushed to the hospital this weekend after severe alcohol poisoning.
According to Radar Online, Hasselhoff was at home with his 17-year-old daughter Hayley and his male assistant when he appeared to be in physical danger. After allegedly drinking for more than a day, his daughter found him and frantically called her mother, who then had a friend call the authorities.
Hasselhoff, 57, recently finished taping his show “America’s Got Talent and has been “boozing heavily on vodka” ever since, a source told Radar.
Doctor: Sobriety for David Hasselhoff Could Take Years
The hospitalization is the second one in just five months – he was previously taken away by an ambulance in May. According to Radar, he has been hospitalized more than five times in the past few years for alcohol poisoning.
The “Baywatch” star was arrested in 2004 on DUI charges.

You could knock me over with a feather.
Soon he’ll be “dead” drunk.
David Hasselhoff seems like a good guy, but he is a dead man walking. Unfortunately I think he is the next celebrity to die
Can’t they force institutionalize him because he is a threat to his own safety?
Sorry to hear this. He seems like a decent guy.
No. His wife divorced him. He’s an alcoholic..he drinks..He needs help and I hope he gets it.
David, do those who love you the greatest favor and just put the drink down.
How is being that drunk ant fun at all? Why would you do this? It is as if you are trying to kill yourself, but you are not man enough to do it outright, so you waste yourself away.
If he attempted to drink while on Antabuse he could have had a pretty severe reaction. I unfortunately found that out the hard way when I thought enough time had passed for the drug to clear my system. I am all better now. Hope the Hoff sees the light as well.
Was he chowin’ down on cheeseburgers off of the plate like last time ???
anyone have family or friends that are alcoholics know this tragedy....
if he doesn't die soon, he'll have brain damage that can not be reversed.....
may God have mercy.....
Man needs a serious pysch-eval.
The Hoff has two ex-wives, both of whom are alive.
He seems to have recovered very quickly. Run on over to TMZ.com. For a dying drunk he looks remarkably fit.
...I'm trying to be reasoned, but, to give him an excuse for having a bad hand, I don't have any sympathy. Hope he gets through this on his own, or with intervention...
