We discussed this before I think....if you are drunk and asleep in your car it is illegal
Is it illegal to sleep in your car in the UK?
It is illegal to be drunk (or under the influence of drugs) in your vehicle. It doesn’t matter that you’re not driving it, that you’re asleep, that you have no intention of driving or that you thought you were doing the sensible thing by sleeping it off. Even if you’re on private land it’s still illegal and if you’re found drunk and asleep in your vehicle you could be prosecuted.
