Look up three sheets to the wind in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Three sheets to the wind is an idiomatic term referring to being drunk or intoxicated. The phrase has nautical origins, suggesting a ship with three sheets (rope) loose and blowing in the wind is out of control.
<<<Actually..."sheets" are the lines (ropes) that are used to adjust the sails. So...if the "sheets" are out blowing in the wind, it would imply that they are no longer in your hand or attatched to the appropriate hardware (winches etc) and thusly out of the control of the sailor. (SB63)>>>
