MacBook battery drain because of keyboard

I have a (2017) MacBook Pro and a wireless keyboard, which I both carry around in my bag. Recently I found that my MacBook battery is often drained even though it was full when I put it in my bag. I realized that this is due to the keyboard keys being pressed, activating the laptop…even though the laptop is closed. I can manually disable the keyboard by pressing the on/off switch for a few seconds, but sometimes this key is being pressed in the bag….connects with my MacBook, and then the MacBook somehow activates and is being drained. Can I someone change a setting that when my MacBook is closed it should disable Bluetooth keyboards.

Turn Off the Bluetooth On the Computer when Transporting in your Bag.

With the Functionality for Bluetooth turned off at the Source ( Computer ) the keyboard can remain On and never Connect to the Computer
