Very drunk. In British slang, "pissed" means drunk (not angry, like in the US), so pissed to the gills is like being so drunk, you're SWIMMING (hence, the GILLS) in alcohol.

To make a simple mistake, a schoolboy error. Taken from the terrificly silly act one can undertake if one fails to lift the lavatory seat whilst relieving one's bladder.
ORTON "Dufresne, if you want to indulge this fantasy, that's your business. Don't make it mine. This meeting's over."

ANDY "Look, if it's the squeeze, don't worry. I'd never say what goes on in here. I'd be just as indictable as you for laundering the money!"

NORTON "Don't you ever mention money to me again, you sorry son of a bitch! You've really pissed with the seat down now Dufresne. Solitary! For a cocking month!"

To have spent money buying alcohol to drink.

Came across it c.50years ago when a teenager on a building site.
I think it may be where "pissed up" meaning to be drunk came from.
Foreman: "It's Monday and he asked for a sub, he got paid on Friday! All his wages pissed up the wall"
Me: "What's pissed up the wall?"
Foreman: "What? Oh, it's going out and getting drunk."
Me: ....?
Foreman: "Staggering home they'll feel like a piss and go against the nearest wall: what they'd spent their wages on just gets pissed up the wall."

Derives from the episode of Mythbusters:

A saying that describes how close something was to happening. Usually uttered when in relief that something tragic did not occur.

The saying has it's origins in the Mythbusters episode where they rigged a dummy up to urinate on the third rail, of a railway track, which would subsequently give a lethal amount of electricity.
Jon: Aw mate imagine if you went out with Cersei.
