What is the type of conflict in The Drunkard? is it man vs man or man vs society or other?I am really uncertain on who is the real protagonist, I...

Larry is the protagonist.  He has a man vs. man conflict
with his father.  Larry would have preferred to stay home and take care of his brother,
but his mother needed him to act as a "brake" on his father's drinking.  He asked his
father to leave twice before he resorted to drinking his father's beer.  He hoped to
stop his father from getting drunk.  It could not be man vs. society because the people
of the town found his drunkenness quite funny.  The more he stumbled, the more they
laughed.  The only people who were not happy were the people in the pub, but that was
because Larry’s father had accused them of drinking his beer, and the pub owner was
afraid the police would come and find Larry, an underaged minor,
drunk.
