Dionysus is the god of wine, parties, and insanity, among other things.
He wasn't just dropped into being a god, he ascended in a unique way.
After he did ascend though, he celebrated by taking large bands of literal party animals and other stragglers that decided to join in and partied all across the Greek empire. His group of devoted followers were called the maenads. They were known for being viciously volatile, ludicrously drunk, and sex crazed.
If I got anything wrong, please yell at me about it. My memory of the Greek mythos isn't perfect but I think I got all the important points.
