Disclose and tell the truth. Don't store beers for other people again. 🙂

We were all young and stupid once. Just own this, don't screw up again, and you will be fine.

If it is your only IA and you accept responsibility for your mistake, it will not matter. If you have a second IA, or if you blame this one on the influence of your peers, it will be a different story.

...how do you get just an undocumented warning for alcohol lol. At my school not only would it be on file, you'd have to go through a mandatory probation program for a semester.

Different schools handle things differently. One school I know of sends drunk students to the infirmary and they don't have an IA as it is treated as a medical issue and not misconduct. That doesn't preclude being sent for health education to prevent future situations of that kind.
