Right, I will answer what i think, but please no one shoot me! They say that while in ketosis its dangerous to drink and therefore you should really follow the rules to the letter to be 100% safe! Although saying that, when i went to Dublin I never even did the refeed, I did the shakes right up til I went then ate and drank as I would have done whilst I was there, am still hear to tell the tale!!
I would think if I could swap from shakes to food/drink then if you do the refeed for 6 days then you will be fine. You have to remeber that they also say you should never start eating reall food until you have done the refeed either (as apparantly you must do this gradually as not to shock your body) and look how many of us have broke it with a binge! I am sure these rules are there for us to follow to enable us to return to normal lifestyle for a good reason, but I personnly wouldnt panic and I would go to the ball and be the belle of the ball at that and have a great time, you deserve it!
