The idiom "high as a kite" is used to describe someone who is extremely drunk or under the influence of drugs, often resulting in erratic or overly excited behavior. The origin of this phrase is related to the idea of flying a kite, which is attached to a string and soars to great heights when there is sufficient wind. In the context of being "high," it suggests a feeling of euphoria or an altered state of consciousness that may resemble the sensation of floating or soaring like a kite.
