I lost a couple of friends in Jonestown. Most of those who lived in the Bay Area at the very least knew someone who was a member of the Temple and who died in Guyana. That being said, I'm with you Boomer -- the phrase did in fact start with the drinking of the poisoned Kool-Aid in Jonestown. It has taken on a much bigger meaning, as you well explained. As you stated, the meaning today has come down to "completely embracing an idea or philosophy, refusing to see anything even remotely negative." However, the history of why we say we drank the Kool-Aid is spot on.
