refers to accepting something blindly without thought or criticism.
Linked with Cults and mass poisonings.
The phrase “drinking the Kool-Aid” refers to followership at its worse. It was coined after a delusional, pseudo-guru named Jim Jones led his cult, the Peoples Temple, to mass suicide. Over 900 people, including 304 children, killed themselves by drinking from a vat of grape-flavored drink laced with cyanide.

Jack is really trying to get ahead at work. He doesn't hang out with the rest of the slackers, any more. I think he's been drinking the kool-aid.

A idiomatic phrase that refers to an unsubstantiated but strongly argued opinion that is rejected outright as being held by a person or persons that is under the effect of a hallucinogenic drug. Kool-Aid spiked with LSD is the root from where this late 1960’s early 1970’s phrase originated.
If you think that the president will be impeached because of his inappropriate activities with women, then you’ve been drinking the kool-aid.
