I've never 'got' the whole drink driving thing: I can honestly say, hand on heart, I have never had a drink and then driven.
This may come across as pious - it's not meant to - but if I know I'm going to be having a drink, the car stays at home (it may be because my father used to drive absolutely plastered - but that may have been a generational thing. By sheer luck he was never caught).
Anyway - Rooney.
He has an undeniable talent, albeit waning, but let's face it, he's not exactly overflowing with brains, and if it were not for the fact he's a talented footballer, he'd probably just be nicking hubcaps in Liverpool.
