IIRC that's how it works in the US, too. Apparently you're supposed to leave your keys outside the car if you're drunk and want to sleep in it (and even then it's only a court defense, not something that would stop you from getting arrested in the first place).

My understanding is that if the keys are in the ignition, it counts as driving and you're DUI even if you're dead asleep. As long as they're in your pocket, center console, whatever you're good.

I agree though that it may not keep you from going downtown but it'll save you from catching the charge (again, I am super not a lawyer, whatever the opposite is, thats me. Don't take this as fact 😂)
