In the book
it seem the Aes Sedai drink mostly tea an very little alchol
is very easy to explain. Would you want than Aes Sedai get
drunk in your inn or bar and start casting weave's all over
the place like call lighting, fireball's and etc's. Other
female channeler also drink tea and avoid alchol for the same
reason.

Yeah, I
suppose that besides it just not being very "lady like" to get
plastered, you wouldn't want to impare the judgement of any
channeler. Even if the oaths bind her against outright killing
folks for no reason, she could easily cause deaths of many
accidentally, including her own.

It could
also be the fact that a good third or so of the population is
quite willing to club you over the head the instant you look
off your guard. A drunk Aes Sedai is a target, too. But I
suspect that even when drunk, the oaths would hold, and they
are as unable to kill people indirectly as
directly.

Anyway. I actually agree with this. We have seen how
the Three Oaths work when it comes to lying. They simply can't
lie. It's not like they (The Aes Sedai simply Promised not to
lie, they are Unable to. I agree and believe that even in
an inebriated state that the oaths would prevent them from
lying, the weapon forging thing, and even killing with the
power (unless of course, it's part of the "This is ok if this"
part.).

But why
test it to see it the oath will hold. There are cases of
people drinking too much murdering someone while under alchol
effect and saying they didnot murder someone when sober.
Alchol I believe it you drink enought mighten weaken the three
oak enought to may-be cause than channeler to lose control.
And what about other channeler like Initiate, Wisdom, Wilder
and other one they arenot under the oath.

Well,
actually if you drink too much alcohol or do some narcotics,
you can start to see things that aren't there - like a
Trolloc, or the Dark one himself, or the forsaken... well...
there's no end of the possibilities... And the Aes Sedai will
be 100% sure what she attacked was something
real...

Can you imagine an aes sedai of the Red ajah
waking up next to some big ugly guy and realizes that he has
also just bonded him to be her Warder. Brings new meaning to
the consequences of a one night stand.

Isn't
Elayne more or less rendered unable to channel during her
"Jush ooone leeetle glass o' wine" incident? She was obviously
still able to channel on her second-hand drunk from Birgitte,
but that's different...

I agree with Skwid here. Drinking generally scatters a
person's thoughts, making it hard to think straight much less
concentrate enough to get a weave off. Channeling takes
concentration and control, drinking usually removes both of
those from a person. Sure, a drunk Aes Sedai could probably
physically attack a person with their fists or a dagger
and sidetrack the Oaths entirely (as they only pertain to the
One Power). See the chapter where Verin was readying to poison
Cadsuane...of course, Verin has her own
mysteries.

Perhaps
somebody once experimented with the channeling equivalent of
drunken fighting and the results scared the White Tower sober?

By drinking
I also do not mean than person who get drunk once. I know some
drunk who get drunk every night are able to drive they car
home or to than other bar an that also take concentration and
mental ability. I know this as my father was than alcholal so
I know this first hand. I want GM than D&D game where the
hight-level wizard have to much to drink in alchol that he
started to cast fireball, distintegrate at ranson. The player
of those character where haveing they character's drink to
much alcohol all the time. After that the character where
careful about how much they drink, the wizard only drank tea
afterword.

That was a
good way to role play the incident. Rather than saying, "Your
character can't just drink like that all the time," you made
him face the consequences of his actions. I think that was a
good way to handle it. At least he had enough sense to learn
from it and quit the bottle.

Wouldn't
the problem with Aes Sedai getting drunk that they'd tell the
truth?
It takes a lot of continual concentration to
keep all those secrets hidden...

Not really I would be more afraid of they build up
sexual tension being release all at once on a man will the man
live thought it hard to tell about out of control channeler.
Their are one big tightly wound up ball of sexual feeling
ready to blow up.
