According to the Daily Mail, the man tied the mouse up to a plastic mesh board. After that he forced it to have Baiju, a rice wine with more than 50% alcohol.

While doing this, he yelled at the rat:

‘Look at you, not leaving a drop of wine to me, drink it up!’ 

He then showed the rat a piece of bread. The rat was trying to twitch and move as the man kept torturing it.
