From the passuk it seems like the sin was "lo tosif". I think that it wasn't that being drunk was a itsself a sin but that because they were drunk they changed the avodah, and that was a sin.

We see from Adam Harishon that lo tosif can carry a chiuv of misah. Because Adam/Chava added "don't touch the tree" they provided the snake an angle of attack. And the result is that they (and everybody since) became mortal.
