:wow:
That much booze would kill me.

[Auggie]

1. That high a level will kill most people

[cwydro]

2. Poor guy.

I saw something in TMZ but I thought that was from a couple days ago.

[sasquatch]

3. Wow, I wonder what Midlo's is right now?

:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

6. And a hearty fuck you, sasquatch.

:harumph:

[sasquatch]

20. Hey, at least I'm keepin' it real

:P

[SoxFan]

4. Too much blood in his alcohol stream

[Shell Beau]

5. That is such a shame. Apparently his daughter found him.

x(

[Symarip]

7. THE HOFF IS A PARTY FUCKING ANIMAL!!!1

NOTHING STOPS THE HOFF!!!1

[UndertheOcean]

8. Leave David alone , he is a human being n/t

[krispos42]

26. You mean "Don't hassle the Hoff", right?

:rofl:

[cwydro]

9. Different stories out there.

TMZ is saying he was drinking, but not trashed like that.

[NightWatcher]

10. sounds like he got some blood in his alcohol stream

[Mojambo]

11. He's been badly messed up for a while

Remember that video from a while back where he was shitfaced on the floor trying to eat a hamburger?

Pretty goddamn sad. I hope he gets better.

[dugaresa]

12. according to this web site this is the 7th time this has happened.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2009/05/04/david-hasselhoff-rushed-to-hospital-after-collapsing-with-alcohol-poisoning-115875-21331624/


Now that is nuts

"A source told the website: “He’s recovering. Pam was his bedside till 4a.m. this morning.

"This is about the 7th time he’s been taken to a hospital over the last few years with alcohol poisoning. How many visits will it take before he dies?”
"

It was his daughter that found him like this. Now what kind of father does this to his kids. What if the girl came home and found him dead?

[Shell Beau]

13. It is a powerful addiction. I am sure he doesn't want his daughter

to see him like that. I hope he will be able to overcome his addiction.

[dugaresa]

17. i know it is a powerful addiction, however what is he trying to do to himself?

he clearly has enough money, so is this a mental health issue that he is self medicating? I don't know but if he didn't have his daughter around he might be dead right now, however it is really sad to involve a girl of 17 in this kind of stuff. She has become his caretaker and that is just really sad.

[UndertheOcean]

14. His daughter is an adult , it is time she took care of him

and attempted to correct his misbehavior

[Shell Beau]

15. He is the only one who can correct his behavior.

It isn't time for her to do anything. It sounds like she has been taking care of him for quite some time. And his children aren't adults. 19 and 17, I believe. Hardly the age to take care of your parents.

[UndertheOcean]

16. wow , he seemed old enough to have adult children

Alcohol is vile . just thinking of vodka makes me want to puke after having too much once at a party.


the problem if he tries to stop right now , that might kill him , Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly , while heroin withdrawal never is .

I can never understand how liquor is perfectly legal , while cannabis can land you in Jail.

[FloridaJudy]

18. The only person who can get a practicing alcoholic

To quit drinking is the alcoholic him/herself. All the interventions/hospitalizations in the world won't do it, unless the person is ready to quit.

Here's hoping he wises up before it kills him.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Sending good vibes...

I hope he can kick this disease. I know how hard it's been for a couple of friends of mine. There but for Fortune go I. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_V7xn_qgYo

[Pierre.Suave]

21. Wheres KITT?

:P

[jobycom]

22. KITT said that much ethanol in his fuel would kill him. He's running a limo service now. nt

[Pierre.Suave]

23. It is about time he went out on his own

The Hoff was just holding him back...

[Sebastian Doyle]

24. Thank God he has a car that can drive itself!

:scared:

[UTUSN]

25. He's a good dude. I don't know what percent killed Dylan THOMAS but it was called

"insult to the brain."

Not to equate the talents of those two dudes. But, hey, being BORN is *some* kind of equalizing.

[UTUSN]

27. And, nutritionally speaking, alcohol is POISON to our bodies

The word "inTOXicate" means POISON. The doctor/professor who discovered Pantothenate Acid, one of the B vitamins, wrote a book about alcoholism dismissing "religious" approaches to alcohol rehab like Alcoholics Anonymous. He claimed to be able to CURE alcoholism by diet and vitamins.


He would do an entry interview, with a humongous checklist of what-you-eat and then devise a diet (and vitamins) with all the crap MISSING. He guaranteed a CURE within six weeks.

He said that the recidivism/failure was for drunks who quit BECAUSE they MISSED the SOCIALIZATION of the drinking scene.

[Dinger]

28. My Stepdad Had .52 And Survived

He was in a coma for two weeks. Never drank again, but had serious problems. He lived for 20 years after that. He committed suicide in 1989.
