How long would we survive playing the Iron Chef Drinking game

I have to confess - I'm addicted to the Iron Chef on Food Network. Not the new American version of it but the original Japanese version that's dubbed in English.

I was surfing online and I found the rules to the Iron Chef Drinking Game. I think there are episodes out there where my liver would be pickled if I played by these rules!

The Rules of the Game

For the game, the group divides into Challengers, Iron Chefs, and Commentators. If you're not with a drinking crowd, yet you still want to play (!?), give everyone paper and pencil. Instead of drinking, make a mark on the paper as instructed. The group with the lowest combined points win. Whereas in the drinking game, the group that is the most sober wins, if anyone is still interested in winning at that point.

Team Challenger

One drink when the challenger says, "I will win." If he/she uses the word "definitely", take an additional drink.
Two drinks whenever a challenger declares a chef should bring out the natural flavor of an ingredient.
Two drinks anytime your chef is announced as being the master of some inane ingredient, such as salt.
Two drinks if the theme ingredient is not seafood.
One drink if the theme ingredient is foie gras, caviar, shark's fin or truffles.
One drink if other Iron Chefs, past or present, are on hand to witness the battle. One extra drink if all the current and former Iron Chefs are present.
