Pete Edochie Shares Hilarious Story Behind His Failed Alcohol Resolution

Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie recently shared a lighthearted story about how he once made a New Year’s resolution to quit drinking—only to break it almost immediately.

In a video circulating online, the legendary actor recalled how, three years ago, he firmly decided to stop consuming alcohol as part of his New Year’s goals. Excited about this personal change, he informed his close friends, who were genuinely thrilled for him.

However, things took an unexpected turn when those same friends proposed a toast to celebrate his decision. Ironically, they took him out for drinks to mark his new alcohol-free lifestyle—leading him to drink once again that very day.

Edochie’s humorous tale highlights how even the best intentions can sometimes be derailed by peer pressure or the irony of celebratory moments. The actor told the story with a smile, reminding fans of the importance of laughing at life’s little twists.

Let me know if you’d like this rephrased for a blog post, Instagram caption, or headline list too!

“About three years ago, I said in my New Year resolution, that I was going to stop drinking. So my friends came and I told them I had now resolved to stop drinking. They said that was good. let’s go and celebrate it. So we went back to drinking”.
