Ups. Right. I've not read the sudo arguments -s -H ;-)
So to complete my other post:
-s executes a shell with euid root. The environment becomes environment
of root.
-H only sets the current directory to the $HOME directory of the user
called sudo and not any environment stuff.

So as skoal has wrote you have to set the aliases in environment of root.
