Alcohol tricks body to believe there is too much energy in blood, so body is enabled, or forced, to store fat.
So, if one does aerobics or endurance training to burn calories after drinking, does it compromise the fat sediment? I mean, when body receives two messages at the same time, which is too much energy in blood and muscle requires a lot of energy during aerobics, body should tend to spend energy on aerobics instead of store it, right?

No, it does not. Alcohol contains energy, and is processed by the body similarly to fat (with an extra couple of steps in the liver needed to convert ethanol to the fatty acid acetate).
Furthermore, the only thing that the body requires in order to store fat is more calories being consumed than are being burned, regardless of the source of the calories.
So, if one does aerobics or endurance training to burn calories after drinking, does it compromise the fat sediment?
If you are able to increase your energy expenditure to be equal to or greater than your energy consumption, then your body will not increase your fat stores. This applies regardless of whether the extra exercise was before or after the alcohol consumption.
