Don't be afraid there is no FIR registered against you just warning given not to repeat the offence again.
You're eligible for applying for government job.

No effect of the present incident. You are very well eligible for Government service if you are otherwise eligible as per the prescribed conditions of employment.

If someone asks you this question with no specifications what so ever the answer would be "No" drinking in public places is not an offense as defined under the Indian Penal Code.
Drinking is not defined as an offense in India. You can get Govt Job etc.Read the below information.
Sec 268. Public nuisance.-- A person is guilty of a public nuisance who does any act or is guilty of an illegal omission which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the public or to the people in general who dwell or occupy property in the vicinity, or which must necessarily cause injury, obstruction, danger or annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use any public right. A common nuisance is not excused on the ground that it causes some convenience or advantage.
Although it is not specific to person who has consumed alcohol the police in most cases enforce the law under the purview of this section.
So simply put drinking in public place in India not illegal.

if you really join govt service then beware that to be found drunk in public place is a professional misconduct of the govt servant and disciplinary action can be taken.
as of present incident it appears you just paid bribe and were let off.

Such queries have been discussed many times and you can search by using SEARCH option.
You can very well apply for govt job.
So far apparently the police have not registered any complaint nor the matter has reached court nor any penalty/punishment awarded.
If you wish you may inquire from police or thru your own LOCAl lawyer if any action is taken/being taken.
In any case if anything happens get certified copy of all docs, complaint/challan/penalty/receipt of payments in your record.
In future avoid drinking in public place and committing any offense even petty offence.
The recruiter govt or private may have IT’s own views on matters pertaining to candidates, employees…
