[John Galt]

"Alcoholic" is a term that get's thrown around a lot. It's one of those things like ADD that people like to slap on each other and themselves.

Frankly, I think AA is one of the biggest culprits in this process. Maybe it came from a good place in the beginning, by giving people a catch phrase they make it easier for people to get out of pressure situations by claiming membership.

There is a huge diffence however, between bonafide chemical dependance on any chemical (not excepting caffine or nicotine) and problems with impulse control. Alcoholic too is simple a label and too loaded a word to actually cover all the bases.

I don't know Keith well enough to know whether or not he is an "alcoholic," but if I had to guess. I would say he isn't. I voted "no" because I don't think the show will have anything to do with whether Keith alters his drinking behaviour.

Going to a WeightWatchers meeting with cookies would make a hilarious KATG/TV episode though. Better yet, stand outside and offer people "one last cookie" before they go in for their first meeting.
