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

'this drunk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for tight that I've seen before include "Strictly imposed; drunk" , "Mean; tipsy" , "Mean; firmly fixed" , "Closely fought game" , "happy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
