I know someone who got a DUI drink sleeping in their car with the radio on so absolutely, yes.
What I meant was that if they were just pulling over people leaving the bar for no reason that would have to be an issue, no? The simple act of leaving an establishment and entering your car is not criminal, and if you were not visibly intoxicated and operated you vehicle within the law they have no cause to pull you over right?

Actually, impaired driving includes "care and control". This means, that if you have the ability to put that car into motion, it's care and control.
This includes sitting in the drivers seat or manipulating fittings and equipment that would create a danger.
Changing a tire while drunk? Maybe.
