If in the end, you found that god really existed...

...and you recognize that Dionysus is real, would you be willing to drink a glass of wine with him?
Keep in mind, all of you heretics, that Dionysus is not omnipotent, omniscient, nor did he create this mess of a world in which we live. He is the god of divine intoxication. Google him if necessary.

I share his first name, so I'm cool to hang with him.
Wine, bourbon, alcopop, whatever. we can get pissed and discuss the finer points of rock crushing technology.

Dionysus has written his existence into our hearts, so that none may have an excuse. Now drink the holy wine and have fun, in celebration of the greatest of the Greek Pantheon.

Sure, but mostly just to be sociable. I like my grape juice sweet, before it rots.
Beer, OTOH, is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

I can't drink due to my medication, so am I allowed to have a soft drink with him?

That is a difficult question, as there were no such issues back when the ancient Greeks wrote about him. But since there is nothing real to go on, I'll just do what religionists typically do and just make up stuff that suits me.
Sure, he will be understanding of your predicament, provided that you really need the medication and if you ever go off of it, you are willing to imbibe the divine elixir.
For those of you who prefer other alcoholic beverages over wine, although Dionysus is most strongly associated with wine, he is the god of divine intoxication, and so you may worship him with other alcoholic drinks. So you need not let that get in the way of your religious devotion. Dionysus is very openminded, and allows for many things.

Honestly I'd sit down for a glass of wine with my worst enemy. I like wine, and prefer dark and dry reds. Just because I may try to tear out your throat, doesn't mean I can't enjoy a civil drink with you.
All hail Dionysus!
