Eric Omondi says that he has not taken alcohol for the past 7 years.

In a recent media interview, the funny man said that he used to be a heavy drinker in the past. He however explained why he quit drinking.

“I don’t drink alcohol now for like seven years. I used to drink a lot, but I became so thin that I could not perform, and I also noticed that I would forget some jokes. I looked very old, so I decided to just quit it,” Eric revealed.

At the same time, he also said that he has never smoked in his life but he is likely to be a tobacco addict because of how it smells.

“I have also never smoked anything in my life but I love the tobacco smell. I am afraid I can easily become an addict if I ever try smoking,” he said.

According to him, he has kept off the bottle and substances so that he can focus on achieving his goals.

“Just like a drunk man take a lot of time to get home, being sober helps you achieve your goal faster,” he added.

At the same time  Eric explained why he recently donned oversized boots while heading to Tanzania.

“Nobody can fit in my shoe. I am the most relevant artiste in the country. Nobody can tell what I am going to do next in my comedy, and I am unpredictable, maintaining an element of surprise for my fans,”he said.
