¿Alguna vez ha dejado el trabajo o la escuela por estar intoxicado, **ido** o con mucha resaca? (¿Ha hecho mal su trabajo o no ha ido a sus clases en el colegio a causa de la bebida?

I am assuming it means 'high' but need to be sure. From Mexico.

high/lost/out of it

Explanation:
Hi Lydia.
Like you, this is definitely the sense I get too. Odd though, because "resaca" [hung over] isn't commonly used in Mexico. Also, I believe what it means is: "have you ever "missed" [as in not gone or stayed away from] work or classes.
HTH y saludos:-)

I'd say perhaps: "[because you were] drunk, high, or hung over?"
Luck:-)
