It doesn't matter if any of us think Keith has a drinking problem; the only person whose opinion should matter to Keith thinks he does. It cannot possibly be said that Chemda is coming from a bad place, and it is clear she has had a problem with it for a long time. It is odd that Keith steadfastly refuses to even talk about his intake of alcohol over the long run, and is instead only willing to consider temporary alterations to his habit.

Whether or not Keith meets some sort of objective measurement of alcoholism is unimportant; the fact is that it is causing a problem in his relationship. In all of KATG's history, the most upset I've ever heard Chemda is over Keith's drinking. That is a serious issue, and yet Keith tries to deflect it by laying low or sobering up for a week before going back to business as usual.

By the way, I listened to this show and the previous one back to back, so if I'm incorrectly recalling which episode what I'm about to mention is from, my apologies. Anyway, Chemda asked what exactly the Bible says about homosexuality. Here is a pretty clear quote, spoken by God himself:

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

That's from Leviticus, which, earlier in the text, calls man on man action an "abomination", exactly as Keith said.

I suppose that quote technically doesn't rule out lesbianism, though that doesn't matter in the case of Keith's brother. This is something the Bible is very clear on: male homos must die.
