Apparently, there are a number of pairs of muscles around each eye, controlling functions such as vertical/horizontal alignment and torque. And it's the torque pair that are most susceptible to inebriation. And as a result, the eyes point in slightly different directions, the right eye veering slightly to one side, the left eye to the other.

So one question to ask yourself is whether the double-vision correlates with the use of meds, and if so, which one(s)? That may solve the riddle.
