Used to be the only times he'd really go nuts would be when there was a party to be had for a birthday, a holiday, or Spring Break. And then always in a social setting.
Then he started his medications. And started hiding said medications from everyone. He still partied, but there was always more at stake. Mixing his meds with alcohol was a really bad idea. Josh is lucky he's still alive. But he keeps pushing that luck.

It's not even that wild for him, not anymore.
