That is a terrible sin, from a certain, wrong viewpoint. According to the official teachers of the Church though, it is simple lack of full knowledge, which in itself, if it is sinful, is venial sin because of its lack of gravity.
True, such a philosophy can be said to contribute to the commission of grave sins, but therein lies the significance that it is in and of itself a light, less-grave, less-weighty trespass, to lack full knowledge; and therefore, it is forgiven every Christian already to lack full knowledge. This is my contextual reasoning of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

I was raised in a family that treated liquor as if it weren’t really there; as a result I had little interest in the stuff, since nobody showed it any interest.
As a result of having little interest in the stuff, when I did try it, and it tasted to me like a chemical cleanser, I developed zero further interest in liquor. I look at my habits now, where I literally keep an open bottle of liquor on the kitchen island, usually beside an unopened bottle of liquor, so that I’ve usually got a drinking bottle, and a back-up bottle, at all times, while I’m making a meal for my family (which itself is something I only saw my patriarch do on the first days’ of the weeks mornings, and during family holiday meals, and then only the main course, and the matriarch was in charge of the sides and desserts).
So, now that I have liquor everywhere, keeping an open box of 1.75 liters (handles) on hand, searching for the cheapest liquor I can find and buying bulk, with some variation, getting one type or other of a liquor that isn’t my current main squeeze; I wonder, how is my daughter going to grow up to accept liquor in the world? It is a mind-altering chemical that is available everywhere in a very wide variety of forms, and almost no matter where you are in the world, here, or in this or that continent---no matter what continent!---there it is. Liquor.
Liquor. One form of liquor is beer, another is wine. Then there’s cordials or liqueurs. And then 70+ proof liquors. There are 70+ proof liqueurs also.
Liqueurs have much more flavor. Usually it’s sugar.
Liquor is everywhere, so if you’re going to get hooked on a drug, make it liquor. It doesn’t matter if around where you live, something or other is legal and readily available and affordable, and morally acceptable.
Liquor is what you use in Asia and in Russia and in South America and Central America. Liquor is the world’s drug of choice, best be getting friendly with liquor, if you’re not a teetotaler.
Like President Donald Trump is and has been his whole life.
No. The Lord Jesus Christ is God. And she is His Church.
