Had a clue recently; ‘An Oxford Street drunk’ (4)

_i_h.

In the end had to look the answer up.

Can anyone get it and explain the answer?

Answer: High

Thanks

One of the main streets in Oxford is called (locally) "The High". I remember this from episodes of Morse.

High is another word for drunk. At least in cryptic crossword-land.

God that’s obscure isn’t it. Many thanks.
