too high
Past the limit
Too high describes something exceeding an appropriate, safe, or desired level.
A price can be too high to afford, a fever too high to ignore, a wall too high to climb.
The phrase often implies a threshold has been crossed: The stakes were too high to back out now.
In casual use, too high also means excessively intoxicated on drugs: He got too high and couldn't function.
