David Hasselhoff used to have it all. The car that could talk, the hair that even made women jealous. Not to mention his smash hit drama series about disturbed young lifeguards trying to make it through life, without falling foul of the hideous daily flashbacks of having to hoik limp, dripping bodies from an angry ocean, or breathe air from their own beautiful lungs into the dribbling mouth of an old lady who thought she’d take up surfing. Damn it, the man made these sea police beautiful again!
Unfortunately, like Achilles with his rotten heel, The Hoff has a weakness – mainly being that he can’t resist throwing back a few sweet shots of the strong stuff, and making a complete tit of himself. It’s a symptom of his massive celebrity, some might argue. But then again, perhaps not? After all, how would those very same people explain the smelly demise of street people, slurping cooking sherry from bins? Were they once famous? No they were not. They just couldn’t resist the tempting aroma of a cheap head-rush.
Hence, it’s with a rather downtrodden sign, a very upset shrug, combined with a particularly dramatic skyward glance to the heavens, and topped off with a furious fist slam onto any nearby table, that we report that The Hoff has been drinking himself ridiculous again. This time, it was vodka’s turn to flow down his meaty throat, and make acquaintance with his legendary insides. He ended up in hospital with alcohol poisoning.
Of course, it’s not the first time that Knight Rider has astounded the world with his total incapability to style things out, and make like he’s sober. Not so long ago, a video did the rounds of him toplessly picking up fistfuls of a late-night cheeseburger and chips from the floor of his snazzy house. Wasted. And this time, he reportedly lurched clumsily into a massive vodka binge after wrapping up another excellent season of America’s Got Talent auditions. Unfortunately, one thing led to numerous others, making for a rather stumblesome trip to the local infirmary. It sounds like a stone cold case of celebrations-gone-wrong.?
According to the good people of Daily News:
At the point when paramedics were called to his home in Encino, CA on Sunday, the Hoff had reportedly already been on a bender for more than a day. The actor was at home with his 17-year-old daughter Hayley and a male assistant at the time.
He was later discharged from hospital, with his put-upon daughter apparently weeping hysterically as they went.

Go Hoff! If you can buckle some swash before you inevitably die from your booze-love, then you’ll be America’s latter-day Oliver Reed.
I, for one, encourage you wholeheartedly in this pursuit – given that I’m already drunk and picking out Weissberg’s Duelling Banjos by ear on the loinfruit’s fresh-from-storage keyboard.
(I may have finally found something that the savant side of me isn’t an idiot at. Wahey!)
