Wording - The phrase "three sheets to the wind" originated from sailing, where a "sheet" is a rope used to control a sail. When a ship has "three sheets to the wind," it means three of these control ropes are loose, causing the sails to flap uncontrollably and the ship to become unstable and out of control, much like a heavily intoxicated person who is staggering and lurching about.
