If you didn’t move the computer suddenly while it was on, the HD may be OK, it’s in a sort-of-sealed case.

I spilled a beer onto my laptop a few years ago while it was on, and immediately lifted it upside-down to let the beer drain ... but that sudden movement destroyed the spinning HD and I lost everything

But I learned 2 valuable lessons from it - backup regularly (expect failure!!), and keep drinks the hell away from your computer

I would have been happier if it had been an adult beverage.
