    No. 00-3362.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted April 12, 2001.
    Filed June 4, 2001.
    
      Before BYE and BEAM, Circuit Judges, and NANGLE, District Judge.
    
    
      
      . The Honorable John F. Nangle, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, sitting by designation.
    
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant Jeremy Fee intentionally overdosed on his prescription of Impiramine after learning from a friend about its hallucinogenic effects. He became sick and had to be treated in a hospital emergency room. The Fees later sought payment of Jeremy’s medical bills through his father’s union-sponsored health plan. Of the $2,835.52 in medical bills, the Plan Administrator paid out only $208.00, denying the rest under the policy’s “intentional acts” exclusion. The Fees filed a civil action under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants. We affirm.

While the Fees allege procedural irregularities in the claims procedures, they have not shown a “connection to the substantive decision reached.” Buttram v. Central States, S.E. & S.W. Areas Health & Welfare Fund, 76 F.3d 896, 901 (8th Cir.1996). Thus, we review for abuse of discretion. See House v. The Paul Revere Life Ins. Co., 241 F.3d 1045, 1047 (8th Cir.2001) (recognizing discretionary authority of health plan).

Jeremy Fee’s overdose clearly fell under the “intentional acts” exclusion. The Fees’ argument that Jeremy only intended to hallucinate, not to get sick, is a distinction without a difference. Jeremy Fee admitted he intentionally overdosed on Imipramine to get “high” despite knowing beforehand that it “might be dangerous.” Any reasonable person would regard his actions as an intentionally self-inflicted injury. See Garred v. General American Life Insurance Company, 774 F.Supp. 1190, 1198 (W.D.Ark.1991). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment.
