   According to the stories, not so.  Dionysos could grant (or inflict,   
   depending on one's point of view) the Divine Madness.  He might very   
   well cause all employees at a brewery to go postal, then appropriate the   
   remaining product for his own use.  He was known for being rather   
   wholesale in his retaliations....   
      
   Blessed be,
