Rode hard and put up wet is a reference to horses. Riding a horse hard and then not taking care of them after the ride can cause them issue, physically and mentally. It is usually used to say someone is tired or generally not well. Others, my mother included, use it to mean she thinks a woman has had too much wild sex, usually with too many partners.
Three sheets to the wind, means to be drunk. It is from nautical terms meaning the sails are not fastened.
On a ship, a sheet is a line made of rope, used to manipulate the angle of a sail, not a sail itself.
Correct, the sheets are trailing in the wind, meaning the sail is not tied down and it’s flapping all over.
TIL.
