I can open a beer in about one second with almost anything with a firm edge. Seriously. Lighter, screwdriver, piece of wood...almost anything. Last weekend, my wife and I were at a festival. I didn't bring anything to open beer with. She had a bottle of water so I used the bottle with the cap on to open my beer. She's seen me use so many thing but after the bottle of water even she was like "Get the fuck out of here!" I told her "See? I can use almost anything". You just have to have the technique. It's really not very hard at all. It's mostly where you put your hand on the bottle.
A table is the easiest. Or anything straight. You just lock the bottle lid over the top of the edge so it catches, then with your other hand you smack the hand holding the bottle which cause the bottle to push down and the lid to lift off. A large majority of bottled beer here isn't twist top so you end up finding ways to get them off. Or, you have like 10 bottle openers like me. I collect them all with beer brands but like in my garage, I use my work bench.
Gas caps off the old pickups from the 60s would open them. And you could reach the cap without stopping.
i drink a majority of my beer out of a can, so this doesn't really come up. i have used most types silverware to open cans when i had no fingernails of course... non-twist bottles aren't hard to open anyway. obviously bottle openers are the easiest way to go, but lighters and tables are pretty easy too, and i'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to figure out how to use other implements.
Ive always been able to open a beer with another beer bottle. but im not stupid, if im going to have beers., Ive an opener. O dont live on Gilligan island.
I know people who can use their teeth. Fuck that. There's something cool I seen on eBay and it's a bottle opener/Thor hammer. You put the opener on the beer bottle then smack it with the hammer and it pops off. I think that'd be fun for the first few beers and then irritating trying to keep the two pieces together.
lol, me too. One time I tried to use pliers to remove a bolt from a wall. THe bolt was exactly 5 inches high and 3 inches low and i had to apply force at an angle of deterity that was beyond my conprehension at the time so i failed at the task and had to give them a free pizza prty but it was worth it because there were baloons lol
I Prefer To Use A More Subtle Approach, I Just Wrap Some "Cordite" Around The Neck Of The Bottle......Light It......Stand Back....Then Enloy..... Cheers Glen.
I think the fork is the solution to all my problems! I normally make my boyfriend open it if I can't find a bottle opener. Unless it's a twist off I'm not that much of a pussy.
