drinking the kool-aid

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.

Church lady kool-aid is kool-aid but doesn't have much of the powder mix in it. It tastes really bad, or just like water, because of the lack of sugar and taste. The name comes from the way an older lady would make kool-aid with less sugar, sort of "more healthy".
