I'm back baby!
I am in a hotel and I have some beers that I bought a bit ago and had in the car. My bottle opener is on my other keyring.

Things in the room:

Keys
Table
Desk
Kettle and assorted tea making facilities
Cups (x2)
Shoes
Soap
Key card
Menu
Lamp
Small change

Please help! Preferably without ruining the table/desk edges...

[edit]And without using my teeth. I've had root canal, I'm not risking that again.
 
Edge the ridges in the cap open with a key

Put the end of the bottle over a table and hit the top of the bottom (warning, may wreck surfaces)

place a coin under your forefinger, and open it in the same fashion as you can with a lighter (youtbue this)

You're pretty set I think!
 
Turn on lamp
Pick up Kettle and assorted tea making facilities
Pick up soap
Use soap with Kettle and assorted tea making facilities
Use soapy kettle with assorted tea making facilities with beers
Open beers
Talk to lamp
Turn off lamp
Use rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle with breath mints
 
I wasn't getting anywhere with keys, but have just managed to open a 660ml bottle of Cobra with a teaspoon.

I just put my left hand around the neck of the bottle and used it as a fulcrum against the flat handle of the teaspoon being a lever. Came straight off :)

If you've got a metal spoon in your tea and coffee assortment you can use the curve of the spoon to lever open the bottle caps a bit a time, only takes a couple of ridges to be prised off and you're in boozy business.

Edit - Ah, I see you have already arrived at this solution :-D
 
Edge of the table, downward palm strike.

Lighter, underneath cap, rapid upwards movement.

Then go outside and beat yourself for not being a man.
 
call me thick, but how is a lighter any more effective than, well, anything small? Mentioned in the video and another post. Not aimed at anyone,
