Do you have an optical mouse? Because that is what mine does sometimes, it
drifts towards the left.

If an optical mouse, place it on a dull surface, preferably one with a
porous surface. Even a sheet of white paper would be better than smooth
paint, e.g.; the mouse needs to "see" the movement under it.

A piece of waxed paper works wonderfully! It even has the added benefit
of allowing the mouse to glide more smoothly too.
