"David Hasselhoff ... an aging loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the beer, the gin, the Long Island Ice Teas, in a world of alcoholics who operate above the law."

Oh, poor Hoff. RadarOnline.com reports today that the 57-year-old former Knight Rider and Baywatch star checked into an L.A.-area hospital on Sunday after a three-day-long drinking binge.

Hasselhoff has been in and out of hospitals more than five times for alcohol-related problems within the past five years, RadarOnline.com says.

Still, the '80s celeb continues to deny he has a problem. "I'm sure he'll try to deny it this time, too," a source told RadarOnline.com. "And that's sad, because it's his daughter who is suffering when she has to take care of him after a bender."

Get well soon, Hoff. The '80s world is better with you in it. We'll be there for you.
