@sakrkoraish No, it’s not. It’s a very odd thing to say. Where did you see it?

Yes, it's an idiom.
In your sentence, "drink the poison" means "let them do something bad to you".
"turn the other cheek" means "to forgive someone", but in your sentence I think it also means "turn a blind eye".
"keep a smile on your face" means "pretend everything is okay".
=========
Here is an example of the idiom being used in a blog article.

The "poison" is the "words of praise that people tell the players".
The reason it is poison is because it can make the players arrogant and believe they don't need to practice a lot. Then they will lose the game.
