undergrounds raves are the closets thing to the dionysian mysteries

"Following the torches as they dipped and swayed in the darkness, they climbed mountain paths with head thrown back and eyes glazed, dancing to the beat of the drum which stirred their blood' [or 'staggered drunkenly with what was known as the Dionysus gait']. 'In this state of ekstasis or enthusiasmos, they abandoned themselves, dancing wildly and shouting 'Euoi!' [the god's name] and at that moment of intense rapture became identified with the god himself. They became filled with his spirit and acquired divine powers."

The followers of the Eluesinian mysteries were ascetic vegetarians who refrained from sex and wine. They were more similar to Hindu holy men then party animals. They probably never had orgies and that was just propaganda made up because the mystery cults promoted equality between classes and gender.

Dionysian mysteries are communal and sensual, had esoteric elements, center around the mystery of the grape vine and wine; Orphic rites are heavily oriented towards rebirth and immortality, orpheus is the epynonymous founder, made up their own cosmology involving Dionysus in later stages, extremely esoteric, female priestarchy and would kill people for revealing secrets, varying degrees of sensuality, became more abstract with time; eleusinian, ancient cult of demeter, austere, at first no sensuality, wine is drunk in somber contemplation w/hallucinogen, private-public, inner and outer circles, also oath of secrecy, centered around harvest and divine child narrative, persephone and demeter are the center of the cult. They’re the same type of cults but the bacchic and dionysian mysteries are comparatively late and were much more festive and open to the public, probably taken much less seriously and involved orgiastic ecstatic psychosis. Orphics were precurors to hermeticists as were eleusinians and were pre-dorian in origin. Also the earlier cults were matriarchal and obviously austere by comparison, not that ritual temple prostitution and imbibing of bodily fluids wasn’t involved, there are rumors the eleusinians drank blood and sacrificed young men or children, but it was not of the same type of religious society as the later cults. Dionysian mysteries are much more plebeian, and bacchic cults were basically secret societies for elites and spy-black mail rings.

No. Ecstasy, sex and alcohol are a downward spiral that not only causes, but celebrates the loss of competence, ability, responsibility, power, sapience and sentience. It reduces lifespan and the time you get to experience life, but advertises the opposite. Though I admit I had plenty of good times, the effect of living like this has been detrimental, not only for me but for everybody involved.

It isn't a valid way of life, nor is it harmless fun. It's risky fun, and that's all there is to it.

Dionysus is together with apollon the god of the mysteries
Orpheus was either a supporter of Dionysus and dies because it gets out of control or is a supporter of Apollo and dies because he denies participating in the life of Dionysus - really look into the stories about Dionysus,it's really a thorough explanation of how to deal with desire, fx. they really get into the truth that comes forth in both the teachings of Gautama and Aristotle namely the golden mean.
