I had the same thing happen, my wife dumped a huge glass of coke over mine

I flipped it upside down immediately and pulled the cord off and the battery out, unscrewed it and let it dry, worked fine afterwards

the deal is with electronics.....they can get wet, but they have to be non-functioning when it happens and they can't be wet when they get turned back on....so, if the water/drink doesn't hit the board or electric parts before you unplug it, and you get it dry before you turn it back on, it should be fine
