I wasn't aware that it had a different meaning if you were Mexican Vs another nationality. But I believe the term came from the sailors of old who would get drunk and as they stumbled or staggered down the streets the other sailors would say Hey mate your three sheets to the wind. This was a term they used while at sea as the three sail mast would be three sheets to the wind as they set sail.

yet another version is going like this: Sheets have been lines that anchored the sails. If the deliver became into in windy climate it became into risky to guard the sheets and so the deliver's grasp might furnish one extra rum ration to any sailor who might safeguard a sheet. A sailor who had secured 3 sheets might grow to be quite tipsy and so....

With the emphasis on the word 'Sheet' spoken with a Mexican accent then it's perfectly obvious then what it means.

It is a sailing term. it means you have three sails up - three sheets - you are going fast.... idiomatically used it means you were drunk.
