it’s my understanding that, here in Illinois, the keys just have to be considered in your control. so if you are going to sleep it off in your car, place the the keys outside somewhere.

One person who is one of my son's karate instructors got a DUI back in 2005. He was at a bar, had a few drinks and there was a fight. He was outside with keys in the hand but far from his car. Got arrested. They didn't arrest him for Public Intox but instead went for DUI.

I also know a person who was in the passenger seat, the driver went into a store and the passenger got a DUI as well.

Good thing to know. I always thought it stupid for the cops to ticket someone sleeping it off in a car that isn’t even running.......
