hasselhammer.jpg Despite earlier reports, David Hasselhoff denies being taken to the hospital yesterday for alcohol poisoning; instead, he claims it was over a bad reaction to two different prescription drugs he was taking.

Hasselhoff's rep insists that the former Baywatch star was taking Antivert for an ear infection and Antabuse to help prevent him from drinking, and apparently the combination of drugs messed up his equilibrium, hence the trip to the hospital.

Sooo, I'm sure David is telling the truth, but didn't he pull this kind of excuse the last time he was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning? Back in May, he told X17online exclusively that his trip to the ER wasn't a big deal and he "wasn't really feeling bad." Hmm...what do you think?
