(Newser) – An apparently drunken David Hasselhoff was rushed to a California hospital by ambulance last night after his worried daughter called her mom, reports TMZ. Haley Hasselhoff, 17, was staying with her dad at his Encino home. Her mom, Pamela Bach, arranged for paramedics to collect the inebriated actor. The former star of Baywatch and Knight Rider has a history of battling alcoholism and was last hospitalized for alcohol poisoning in spring.

All good comments, folks, but I have to ask. Why, after, what? eight times to the ER for alcohol poisoning, is this still happening? Obviously, he has an addiction problem, but for this to always end up poisoning him, I ask a simple question ... I wonder if he has an allergy to alcohol. I'm being serious; there is such a thing (a sensitivity to it).

I grew up with an alcoholic parent. I know the pain and embarrassment that both mother and daughter are going through. I now know that it was never my fault, never up to me to make the repair, and it wasn't even possible for me to directly help. I truly hope that Hoff will feel their pain, make it stop, find his higher power, and make amends. He's a cool guy, I know he has it in him. He needs to go way way down and find it. Everyone needs to let him make that fall and find the path back on his own.
