I have had ubuntu for a while now, but for some reason I am no longer a sudo.

When I open up terminal and type the command 

sudo false
sudo unknown host HOST

then when I actually look at my hosts file I see DIFFERNTHOST

the problem is I cant change my host because I am not a sudo so I am locked out of my computer and I can't do anything!

Note: I have already tried editing my /etc/hosts file and I cant edit it

Boot from a Live USB or CD, remount your / disk partition rw and look at/fix (on the disk filesystem, which I will assume you mount at /mnt/tmp) /mnt/tmp/etc/sudoers and /mnt/tmp/etc/sudoers.d/*
