There are countless gods from countless religions from around the world. A common one found in each one is a god of some sort of alcohol. The greek gods have Dionysus, the Hindu devas have Varuni, and the Japanese gods have Inari. There are plenty more from all of theology and cultural practices, but these ones stood out as the most interesting of the bunch. The Gods of Alcohol is a video I've wanted to do for a long time, as it always fascinated me that they were held in such high regard in their respective pantheons throughout the world. Almost always depicted as wholly good and beautiful beings that bring joy and prosperity to the world, these beings are some of the most influential of the divine beings. People will always respond well to a nice drink and a day off it seems. Gods of Fertility, war, the sun, creation itself, they all make sense, but on the flipside there is also a god of partying and getting drunk. Seems much less important than the god of all of all life, but in many cases, these gods were some of the most worshiped of their region and culture. From around the world, one thing remains constant, people love to get drunk and party! Though you’d be mistaken for thinking all of them are the same carefree people, the worship of these deities can be pretty serious business, and their worship was not to be taken lightly. So let’s take some time and learn a little bit about these deities and pour ourselves a tall glass to spend some time with the different Gods of Alcohol. I should say that none of the gods we are going to talk about as well as their depictions in Shin Megami tensei in this smt lore video are strictly gods of alcohol alone, they are all so much more. That just adds to their mystique however. From persona lore to smt lore these gods are always a great addition to the team and flesh out the world of bleakness with a bit more colour, quite literally in Dionysus's part.
