ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND: Mia Khalifa, a social media personality and former adult star, has criticized people who consume alcohol to the point of paralysis. Khalifa, a Lebanese-born Twitter user who has grown increasingly outspoken in recent years about a range of topics, was expressing her support for singer Kali Uchis.
Using Elon Musk's microblogging platform, musician Kali Uchis, who has more than 1.1 million followers, tweeted about being clean for 10 months. "I been sober 10 months, I was drinking & smoking since 12 years old even got alcohol poisoning & almost died at 17 so it’s big for me, thank you," she wrote in her post. Mia saw the post and shared it with her 5.3 million followers through a quote tweet.

Mia supported Uchis and said in her quote tweet: "Sorry but her take on alcohol is 1000% valid and if you disagree, u’ve already fed into the game they set up for you along with big tobacco. It is literally poison…. A hangover is a form of POISONING…. People who’d rather drink than smoke are goofy, y’all need to love urselves," as per Daily Star.

Other internet users supported Mia's statement. "I agree. I’m 10 years sober and my life improved 1000%. I’m still healing from the damage done of course but with a clear head. I went back to school, got my degree, traveled, and have healthy relationships. Alcohol is truly a poison and its abuse is widely promoted," commented one such user.
Another user thanked Mia and said, "Thank you Mrs Mia, for me or anyone that's in the same spot as me. As I was growing up people/friends didn't want to hang with me cause I didn't get involved in smoking and drinking. I've always found those two things being an poison to the mind and body so I."
Another social media user exclaimed in the comment, "I love you Queen." The comments continued with one more user writing, "This is so true! My husband was a big drinker and tobacco smoker until I married him and introduced him to weed. His health greatly improved after he left those poisons for good. Governments allow these "freedoms" to be sold, so they may profit themselves."
