Getting drunk, see as the best part (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

high spot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the best part' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'getting drunk see' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'drunk' could be 'high' (I've seen this before) and 'high' is located in the answer.
'see' could be 'spot' (to spot is to notice or catch sight of) and 'spot' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
