Now we’ve officially crossed into stupid territory.

I don’t know the Georgia law specifically, but there are lots of states that say that if you’re in the driver’s seat, you’re operating the vehicle, period. You can be guilty of DUI even if the car is turned off with the keys in the center console.

Last I checked, Florida law is extremely strict on DUI.
If you think you might have had too many, and you just want to go in your car to grab something before you call a taxi, 
Reach in through the passenger door, in case a cop might be watching.
Also, riding a bike counts as a motor vehicle for the purposes of DUI law. 
If you need to get home while you're still inebriated, your legal choices are walking and calling somebody to come get you.
