Last night America’s Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff was rushed to the hospital for what was reported to be alcohol poisoning.

This morning Hasselhoff’s reps said that the problem was not that he was sick from alcohol poisoning, but from the medications he was taking. According to E! Hasselhoff felt that he was a bit unsteady on his feet after taking the drugs Antivert for nausea and Antabuse, which is used as a treatment for alcoholism.

According to sources, the former Knight Rider star became ill and could not reach his doctor, so he called paramedics.

In 2007 Hasselhoff was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning several weeks after a video was released that showed a shirtless Hoff drunkenly eating a cheeseburger off the floor while his daughter implored him to get help.
