Ive heard of that one (3 sheets to the wind). I am gonna look up that one.

Extend this idea to sailors on shore leave, staggering back to the ship after a good night on the town, well tanked up. The irregular and uncertain locomotion of these jolly tars must have reminded onlookers of the way a ship moved in which the sheets were loose. Perhaps one loose sheet might not have been enough to get the image across, so the speakers borrowed the idea of a three-masted sailing ship with three sheets loose, so the saying became three sheets in the wind.

I didn't know where that saying, three sheets to the wind, came from but it makes sense. It kinda reminds me of this:

Ever wonder where the phrase "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" comes from. Cannonballs used to be stacked inside a square metal railing (in a pyramid) called a "monkey". At first they were made of iron, but they found that in the winter the balls would freeze to the monkey, and couldn't be removed. So, they started to make the "monkeys" out of brass. However in bitter cold weather the iron balls and the brass monkey would contract at different rates and the balls would fall off. Hence "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey"
