Text of the Licensing Act 1872 as in force today (including any amendments) within the United Kingdom, from legislation.gov.uk.

The definition of "in charge" depends on such things as being in or near the vehicle, and having access to a means of starting the vehicle's engine and driving it away (i.e., the keys to a vehicle).
