Hey, I've recently spilled beer (2% alcohol) on my laptops (acer nitro 5) left side of the keyboard, it was probably about 0.3-5 dl, so not a lot, but im still worried. I immidiately unplugged the laptop, turned it off, and wiped any liquid off, then I removed the back, but there was no water visible on the motherboard or any parts, I placed my laptop upside down and put a fan next to it to let it dry. I couldn't remove the battery since the screws were really tight. In 2 hours, I powered the laptop back up just to see, and it worked completely fine, than I turned it back off and I'm currently waiting. What should I do next, how long should I wait, and what are my chances?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I'd still disassemble the laptop until you reach the chassis and then clean with isopropyl alcohol and then use air drying after. You will need to disconnect the battery when you tear down laptops, mind you.
