You could use this link to calculate your BAC immediately after consumption and the effect of 70 hour time lag

Blood Alcohol Concentration // OADE // University of Notre Dame

Seems you should be fine.

Maybe the OP sees this potential job as an opportunity to better him/herself. Why do you think rehab is necessary?

A better question - what is an alcohol swab test?

Because to drink that much in a 24 hour period responsibly is basically impossible. Its 22 1.5oz shots. There's no pattern of drinking where 22 shots in 24 hours is responsible. Especially considering he probably slept.

I'm not against alcohol use...I enjoy drinking myself...but 22 shots in 24 hours is most likely representitive of a pattern of abuse.

My thoughts exactly. OP's situation sounds hypothetical to me.

Alcohol swab test? Honestly I've never heard of companies testing for alcohol consumption.

Anyway, in response to your post, I'd just lay off the vodka for the next 70 hours and you should be fine.

It sounds like a drug test and the OP is concerned alcohol will show up.

What does that have to do with rehab?

Are you just being dense on purpose? Rehab will help you learn to deal with substance abuse problems.
