Gets high means to experience intoxication or altered consciousness, typically from drugs or alcohol.
The high refers to the elevated, euphoric state produced: She gets high on weekends, He got high before the concert.
One can also get high on non-substances—adrenaline, success, or life itself: I get high on the thrill of competition.
