This is close to the truth. It was first used by Spanish people here in reference to El G. They would accuse somebody of beng 'doped to El G levels', which in Spanish is 'dopado a niveles de El G'.

I was being serious. The same thing is happening in Miami, I read it today.
It came about through sustained contact with native Spanish speakers who directly translated phrases from Spanish into English, a form of linguistic borrowing called ‘calques.’
To the gills is an old, old civil war term used an old wooden ship. The occupants of the ship, who were drunk, would look a each other when tipsy and say "Hey....you look to the gills, mate". Thus, the term "to the gills" started to be used. Hope this helps answer your question.
