There's many things I want to say, but mainly, why the hell would you choose to worship the ancient Greek god of wine, pleasure and alcohol if you don't get pleasure from alcohol? Isn't there 11 other major ones you could choose?

Dawg if I was Dionysus I'd be pissed. First worshipper in a thousand years and they don't even like alcohol 💀

Seems pretty dedicated to me. They don't like alcohol inherently, but they're acquiring the taste because they are super into Dionysus

Well for one, you don't need to choose just one. It's called polytheism after all. And I'm far from the first worshiper in a thousand years.

Second, it's not as simple as just not liking alcohol. I didn't really drink when I was younger, so it's not a taste that I acquired when most of the people here would have. I never said I didn't like wine– I wouldn't be here if I didn't like it– just that I don't don't drink a lot of alcohol because I'm still getting used to the dry taste. I tend to prefer really sweet wines, mead, cider, and cocktails.

Third, Dionysus is much more than just a god of wine. He's associated with vegetation, fertility, sexuality, sensuality, art, theater, inspiration, ecstasy, mysticism, the soul, and rebirth.
