Does it even have to go as far as concious vs unconcious mind?
As the saying goes, do not attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The drunk in your example is far more likely failing on a much simpler level: not taking long term considerations into account, not updating when steps taken to stop drinking fail to work, and therefore not trying a different approach, repeating the same triggers (like going to the bar) and expecting too much out of his willpower reserves, and so on. Being drunk also hampers efforts.
Perhaps akrasia sufferers here have cause to look for a conciousness-based explanation, but only because they have presumably gone through the list of biases and failiure methods and applied rational ways of correcting them. This is not true in the general case of an ordinary human.
