There are no guarantees with recovery.

What is your Plan B if he doesn't get his act together before the graduation? Un-invite him? Make him blow a breatherlizer?

If he is active again in his addiction (and he agrees not to drink for that one weekend), he will likely be a snappy, moody, lack-luster person who can't wait for the end of the weekend so he can go have a drink. His next drink will be his focus.
