A boss in China stunned his employees by paying them bonuses based on how much they could drink.

An employee from Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, China, has revealed that his boss placed a pile of money on the table saying that people would get their bonuses based on his drinking game, News.com.au reported.

Zhang told the Global Times that men were given 500 yuan for a shot of liquor, 200 yuan for a glass of red wine and 100 yuan for a beer, while women employees were given twice as much money for the same amounts.

Although, the employees thought that the method was unfair, but the boss said that the company's business success was rooted in employees being able to hold their liquor with clients.
