    As to why she chose to stop drinking and smoking, Tiffany said it's because she's "being obedient to the law."

    "It was court mandated," she explained. "You know, two years I've been waiting for my hearing in Georgia, and what happened in LA triggered Georgia, and they're like, 'OK, we want you to do driving alcohol tests.' And I'm like, 'Cool.'"

    "And so, I'm doing them, and there's no problem," Tiffany explained. "Like, I've been passing every single one because I haven't been participating. I wasn't participating much in the first place, because I was only smoking weed on my period because it was so painful."

    While she hasn't ruled out alcohol forever, she said she's "definitely not going to be drinking anytime soon."

    "I've got a few reasons why I might have a drink. I win an Oscar, gonna have a shot of vodka for that. If one of my family members die, I'm going to have a shot of vodka for that. Not a whole bunch, just a shot. If I get engaged to be married, I'm going to get shit-faced drunk one night just so he could see my full crazy," she explained. "But that'll be it."
