I spilled a drink on my laptop awhile ago & every once in awhile some of the keys dont work. Then later on all the keys work. Is there any way someone can fix it? I dnt really have the money to take it to a fancy computer place to have them fix it. I can live with it, have been for awhile now lol just wondering if it can be fixed?

You can attach an external keyboard.

you can get new keyboards for most laptop computers on ebay. you need to be very specific on which model computer you''re shopping for, and be prepared to wait for shipping from China. The hardest part of this is getting the correct number for the keyboard in order to search for one to buy.  
 
I''ve had good luck fixing laptops this way. Oftentimes these keyboards are fairly easy to remove/replace once you find good instructions for your specific comuter. Youtube and iFixit are invaluble resources for instructions, and how to avoid catastrophic damage. Sometimes there''s screws to remove and it will fall out, other times it''s simply knowing where and which direction to pry-out and pop-in.  
There's always a ribbon cable that's delicate... if you don't have steady hands and good eyes, you'll have to find somebody who does.

You can get a keyboard at Value Village for $5 !! just make sure it is usb connectable. Plug it in and away you go

You could also pull the kegs off, wash them, dry and replace.  
Don't do too many at a time unless you have another keyboard so you can see what keys go where.

When you remove the keys, clean around the stubs with q tips and rubbing alcohol
