Sin is knowingly doing something bad to offend God. Venial sins are ones that kinda turn us away from God, but not completely. Mortal sins turn us completely away from God! If you go to confession and are truly sorry, all sins are forgiven, even the wones you can't remember. Isn't that great??
In Catholicism, drinking alcohol is not considered a sin in itself. However, excessive drinking that leads to drunkenness or harm to oneself or others is considered sinful. The key is moderation and responsible consumption.
In Catholicism, a sin may be categorized as either mortal or venial. A mortal sin is one that is grave in nature and committed knowingly and deliberately and thus in defiance of God's will. A venial sin lacks the gravity of a mortal sin, results from ignorance of God's law, or is not performed volitionally. Either type of sin may be subcategorized as an act or omission. Further, the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the garden is classified as original sin and the guilt thereof is inherited by all of humanity. Original sin, therefore, precedes the above categorizations and can be distinguished from them.
The concept of original sin is primarily found in Christian theology, particularly within Catholicism and some branches of Protestantism. It is not a universal concept across all religions or belief systems.
If you don't believe in Roman Catholicism why care if they consider it a mortal sin??Roman Catholic AnswerAny time you turn from God to choose something else instead of Him, in a serious matter, and with the consent of your free will you are committing a sin that is, indeed, mortal, as St. James says, "some sins are deadly." When God, in His great love, and seen fit to allow you membership in His Church, I think we can reasonably say that it would be a mortal sin to throw that in His face and turn our backs on Him.

According to Roman Catholicism, a venial sin (meaning "forgivable" sin) is a lesser sin that does not result in a complete separation from God and eternal damnation in Hell. A venial sin involves a "partial loss of grace" from God. Then, a temptation is the act of tempting or the condition of being tempted or something tempting or enticing. It can be a venial sin if you are thinking of doing it, but if you are just being tempted and not falls to it. it is not a venial sin. Thus, it depends upon the situation. Hope this helps.
Initial grace is the same thing as sanctifying grace. According to Roman Catholicism, it occurs at baptism and results in salvation and removal of the stain of original sin.
