Eli5 why is it when you’re drunk, closing one eye helps you see straight?

Alcohol messes with eye movements and sometimes involuntary eye movements, often it messes with each eye unequally. Because humans need input from both eyes for binocular vision, if they are not in sync, the brain can't fit the two puzzle pieces together. So if you close one eye, yes you lose half your visual field, but on the bright side, that single eye can move around all it wants and the brain won't confuse it with whatever is happening with the left eye.
