I agree that it is not courage but she drinks it in desperation. She can't imagine a life without Romeo and so if he has died- she will join him. She never questions whether or not she will drink the poison it is just something she is going to do to ensure she can be with Romeo forever.

Additionally, she doesn't see that there is any point in living in a world where love can't thrive. For her this is the only way to be with him, now.
