David Hasselhoff Says He Was Hospitalized Due To An Ear Infection
David Hasselhoff claims he was rushed to hospital because of an ear infection. The former ‘Baywatch’ star claims rumors he was taken to Encino Hospital by paramedics because of a heavy drinking session on Sunday are untrue and says he became sick after mixing two medications.
David, 57, has been taking Antivert for a severe earache along with anti-alcohol drug Antabuse – which deters alcoholics from drinking.
His attorney Mel Goldsman said:
"David was being treated for an inner ear infection and had a bad reaction to his medication over the weekend. He lost his equilibrium and it left him dizzy. This was all a misunderstanding. This was not an alcohol relapse.”
It had been reported the actor had collapsed “drunk” at his Californian home and was found by his 17-year-old daughter Hayley. The ‘Knight Rider’ star has publicly battled alcoholism for several years and has been hospitalized for alcohol poisoning five times previously.
For his sake....I hope his side of the story is true.

I don't think it was an ear infection.
I'm pretty sure he had his wisdomteeth removed ;)
Hopefully it was just mixing the two medications, but I don't get the point of trading one addiction (alcohol) for another (the antabuse)

mixing meds and heavy drinking can cause a hospital visit...

mixing meds and alcohol can definitely cause a visit to the hospital

If it was an ear infection that's good, it would be a shame to see him relapse.
I hope that is true and that he is working on his issues.

hmmm... for some reason I doubt this. He is just a notorious alcoholic. Poor guy. And his poor daughter.

I feel bad for him having an addiction, and worse for his daughter having to see it. I hope it really was just a bad ear infection.

Not buying it. #1 requirement of an alcoholic - DENIAL #2 requirement - MANIPULATION You can't change what you don't acknowledge.
