You'd think he would have sworn off alcohol after that embarrassing incident with a hamburger and a video camera over two years ago, but David Hasselhoff clearly hasn't learned his lesson.

Paramedics responded to a 911 call at the Baywatch alum's Encino home just before 3:30pm yesterday, and the actor was taken to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. You might remember that David was hospitalized back in May for the same thing, and this time 911 was called after he appeared to be in physical danger.

Apparently David had been drinking all day, and his 17-year-old daughter accompanied him to the hospital, and she was seen crying as she sat by her dad's side.

Just last week we chatted with David at the Malibu Triathlon, and he didn't comment on his alcoholism, but he did mention that he has someone else driving for him these days. We're glad to hear that he's being safe, but we what's he doing to get a grip on the battle of the booze? Skip to 6:25 to hear David talk!
