Opening a bottle without a bottle opener

[Elixir]

This is an essential life skill, it's easy to open them with any handheld object with a solid edge in the way you have described.

If all the above fails, just go to the bar.....

Edge of the door (hinge side). Open door, wedge bottle top in door jamb and close door slightly. Then prise top off.

I was taught how to do this by some of the crew on my first ship, Tortugas.

Makes quite the party trick I've found.

Edge of the door (hinge side). Open door, wedge bottle top in door jamb and close door slightly. Then prise top off.

Just don't close the door too hard and leave a bottle top shaped imprint!

Never done that before........

 

[G|mp]

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,

It's not any more effective, it's a tool that is normally in my pocket or a friends.

They also cost under a pound so it doesn't matter if it breaks.

Pick up the phone and call a man to open your beers for you. Or if it's a premier lodge type place the reception might have one.

[bledd]

grasp in left hand around the top. use a spoon in other hand to lever it off against your hand.

or use another bottle

or wedding ring, I use mine all the time for this

 

[heeeed]

If you have 2 bottles then just open it with the second bottle. I'd be amazed if a quick google won't show a YouTube video or wikihow or something as it's very easy. Then you have a bottle cap to open the second bottle. Easy peasy

• Grab Cup
• Place Saop in Cup
• Boil Kettle
• Pour boiling water into Cup
• Add Coppers (loose change) to the Mix
• Add Silvers to taste
• Drink

After that you won't need a beer.

When faced with a similar scenario (involving wine, not beers - schoolboy error not buying a screwtop!) I simply went down to reception and asked for a corkscrew. I guess some hotels might charge you corkage but it is somewhere I stay fairly regularly on business, so they know me.

I use an A4 piece of paper if I can.

And will taste better than cobra

All of my lighters are chewed up at the bottom from opening bottles. If, for any reason I don't have my lighter with me I'll grab a stranger, squeeze their nose until their mouth opens, jam the bottle top between their molars and yank downwards. Works every time and the drink helps to ease the pain of getting thumped afterwards.

 

[No1newts]

I opened one by hand once, been scarred ever since and still noticeable almost 15 year later

 

[Hilly]

should have walked to the hotel bar and opened it there!
