I don't think anybody thinks such a ship is possible with chemical rockets.

It's worse than that. It's not possible with any type of rocket. If you are accelerating by pushing mass in an opposite direction then you'll never build a ship that can accelerate at 1G for years at a time.

Unless we invent a reactionless drive the idea of traveling between solar systems remains a pipe dream.
