To blindly follow and support a cause, sports team, religion, protest, political figure, etc. without first looking into it or researching it
Example 1:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike: So who did you vote for in this past presidential election??
Jim: I voted for Obama!!
Mike: Why? Was it his promise for change? His economic policies?
Jim: Huh? ohhh no I just did it because everyone else did.
Mike: Jim..dude, stop drinking the kool-aid.
Example 2:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roxanne: Brian, I've noticed you go to church quite a bit lately, how come??
Brian: Ohhh Roxanne its simple really, if you don't go to church people won't like you.
Roxanne: You know nothing about religion do you? Not one thing...Lemme guess your doing it because you just want people to look at you in a good way?
Brian: Nope not one thing and yup pretty much
Roxanne: Brian.....Stop drinking the kool-aid
Example 3:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Max: Ohhhh my god, why does ESPN always have to talk about Charlie Weis and Notre Dame!?!?!?
Jack: Well he is a decent coach and they are a good team?
Max: Since when?? Weis sucks as a coach and Notre Dame is overrated due to their schedule and pure talent
Jack: Well ESPN says they're good
Max: Stop drinking the kool-aid , get off the bandwagonand take off those rose colored glasses.

Get the Drinking the Kool-Aidmug. by ryanjames May 30, 2006
Get the drink the kool-aidmug. 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.

Get the drinking the kool-aidmug. To make a wholehearted, unconditional commitment (to some group, or idea, or plan) in contrast to choosing an alternative. It emphasizes a resolute decision (good or bad) in response to a choice.
This is a reference to the "electric Kool-Aid acid tests," which were LSD parties held in the San Francisco Bay area in the mid 1960's. Someone who was willing to drink the LSD-laced Kool-Aid had, symbolically, made a choice to join (if only for a few hours) a counterculture that stood against conventional society. Once you take acid, you're committed -- the trip lasts for hours and you can't cut it short or change your mind. Once you've drunk the kool-aid, you're firmly committed.
IMHO it is not about suicide: kool-aid isn't a symbol for poison.

Coach got his players to drink the kool-aid.
I really like Macintosh computers; I've totally drunk the Apple kool-aid.
That berserk guy who tried to kill people at the Tides Foundation really had drunk the kool-aid that the right-wing media were serving.
