Actor Waayosi has asked youth to avoid alcohol premised on his own experience after he nearly died some time ago because of his addiction.

The actor acknowledged that his alcohol addiction was so severe that he couldn’t spend a day without drinking a lot of it.

Wayoosi disclosed that he used to be a ‘serious’ drinker, even concealing wine by the roadside during his routine joggings in the morning just to drink along the way.

He later developed kidney disease owing to excessive drinking which nearly killed him.

Wayoosi stated in an interview with AMBASSADOR TV that he felt God had given him another shot at life for him to live a healthy lifestyle.
