Starboard or Port drift?

Probably a super stupid question but how do you know if it's starboard or port drift? When you are calculating headings on the CRP 5 (chapter 8 Oxford ATPL navigation). Example: the heading is 060 and the track is 065 which means you have 5 degrees starboard drift. I understand how they got the 5 and all that. But how do I know if it's port or starboard? Any rules of thumb?
