I think even medically alcoholism is defined as an addiction, which isn't necessarily a chemical dependence. Addiction is simply persisting to do something despite its negative impact on your life, which is something a lack of impulse control can do.

dr drew believes all addictions are chemical- even less concrete addictions release chemicals in the brain

Certainly you can get things down to a granular level where we are all biological organism run by chemical processes which adhere to the laws of physics. My point is that chemical dependance is a condition that can have real, definable, sometimes negative physical withdrawal effects whereas other aspects of any addiction are more behavioral and emotionally based. Admittedly, my medical degree is in my other pants at the moment.

And by pants he means rectum.

One of the most venerable dEadERisms:

"Don't live your stereotype."

e.g. Patrice; single black female, she has no fatherless babies (that she knows of, mah mah) ~ she breaks many paradigms of that demographic rather than belabor the point.

keet; sad/angry, daddy-issues, drunken clown, living, at one time maybe, Bobcat's "Shakes the Clown", an archetype if not a stereotype.

When Chemda and Patrice disagree he feels it's appropriate to scream at them to better make his point - genius. Is it just for the show or is it really him?
He has seen fit to take me to task in the LiveVid; I think he knows A) I can take it and 2) I enjoy it. But it is performance art, very entertaining.
In these scenarios which is "better", drunk or sober?

Can keet deliver the product that has become katg and not drink himself to illness and/or death? Should Chemda not insinuate herself "for the sake of the show" if she feels there's a real problem?

Again, I still haven't listened to the show =-_)

Right, but no medical degree means we're not playing doctor. Based on the other attendees, may I suggest "good cop, bad cop?" I didn't say I wasn't bringing extra assholes.
