Never heard 'lit up' meaning drunk. Live and learn.
Lexico (which is a website run by the OED people) gives 'lit up' as an 'informal, dated' synonym for 'drunk:

It's not new to me but perhaps I've just read too many of P G Wodehouse's books ;-)
Ah, see Chris - 'dated'; that's why I've not heard of it. I'm a thoroughly up to date person. (Believe that and you'll believe anything).
