Shouldn't all bandsaw blades have tooth set that is alternating both left and right? When the set becomes more prevalent to either side - Doesn't that cause drift?

This was not about tooth SET, it was about which way the pointy ends of the teeth pointed. i.e. with the blade oriented with the teeth facing you, is the blade going to cut when it rotates clock-wise(on the right side) or counter clockwise(on the left side). The assumption here is that you want it to cut on the downward moving side.
