Titera's Tidbit: Three Sheets to the Wind
On a sailing vessel, sheets are ropes that control the sails. Typically, two sheets control the fore sail, and one the smaller aft sail, though this configuration differs from vessel to vessel. If the sheets are to the wind, it means that they're flapping about in the breeze and the sails are not under control, just as a person said to be "three sheets in the wind" - drunk, that is - steers about wildly.
