Brilliant photo.
I know others have said that it shows how he is drinking himself to death,
but to me.. well, I don't see that. Maybe the second one you posted makes
that point more so (for me).
Anyway, this, aside from the beautiful rendering, shows a character -
larrikin, one of the boys, yob, whatever you want to call it.
I feel a sense of carefree, happy go lucky, freedom to the image. And I
guess that's where drinking takes us.
In any case, beautiful photo, of an interesting subject - for me, not so
much sad, but representative of someone who's where he wants to be.
YMMV.

Once again, I captured the last image ever someone I knew -- in this
case, a guy named Tommy Pool. He used to frequent the club where I tend
bar, but a little over a year ago, he applied for a re-enrollment and he
was declined by the membership due to his inability to control his
drinking.
Well, that didn't stop him from drinking himself to death, which he a
couple of weeks ago. I'd dropped by his place with a friend a few weeks
prior and he was in his usual condition. I happened to be carrying my
camera that night and decided to pop off a few shots. This was the last
one of the bunch:
