David Hasselhoff

...is laughing off the media reports, which state that he was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning.

According to David, he became ill after suffering a reaction to mixing meds for his so-called ear infection.

He says that pills taken to keep him off alcohol wwas mixed with his ear infection meds.

Funny - I bet he pushed those medications down with a glass of wine, that he claims has less than 2% of alcohol.

Wait - Michael Jackson was noted for doing the same thing...mixing alcohol with doctor prescribed medications.
