Does being under grace mean we can sin? No way. Again there is a mistaken conception today that sin=fun. Nothing could be further from thr truth. When we sin far from exercising freedom we become slaves to sin. The choice we have is to be either a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness. As Bob Dylan put it, everyone has to serve somebody.
Through the cross we have been set free from slavery to sin. It would be madness to go back to that slavery. When we become slaves to righteousness we actually discover true righteousness.
Being a slave to sin does not improve our lives, for sin results only in death. When we become slaves to God the reward is eternal life. There really isn't any choice, death or life.
