Grammar
Must be high
-I must be/must have been (very) high that night.
THAT NIGHT refers to a particular night in the past. I think MUST HAVE BEEN is the grammatical one, since it refers to the past, but MUST BE is not unheard of and is possible in casual English/informal English, though not possible in formal English. Do you agree?
Thank you.

Yes , must have been. I'd be quite surprised to hear a native speaker say 'must be'.
