Not weak, I imagine. The thing about Shingeki no Kyojin is that nobody is exempt from dying and, as we all know, it is very easy to die in the SnK universe when coming up against Titans. You can be an experienced Titan-slaying veteran and still have potential to die when fighting them, as shown throughout the series.

It's amazing that Hannes lasted how long he did, so I wouldn't say he was weak or drunk. Okay, maybe drunk, but it was still an impressive feat even if he did die in the end.
