An ox refuses to plough fields until it's given a bottle of rice wine in a farm in Qingxin county, Guangdong province.

The owner surnamed Liu said his workhorse had been addicted to alcohol for years.

The ox usually works harder after it drinks the wine, said Liu, 61, a heavy drinker himself.

The Guizhou native began feeding his beast rice wine five years ago, borrowing the idea from local bullfight organizers who use wine to fire up their charges.

In the beginning, the ox didn't like the wine and used to vomit, but gradually grew to like it and now won't work without it.

Liu now has to prepare several bottles of wine before any plowing gets done.
