need to be careful with this, when you offer a lady a drink then imediately start unbuckling your belt things can go south rather quickly (giggity)

for some reason i have about 5 different bottle openers on various bags, key rings etc and i never seem to have one on me, key trick works well for me, just don't use your car keys...

err.. wander downstairs and ask the hotel for a bottle opener?

otherwise open the bottles with the other bottles as posted above.

balance coin on edge of table,
rest edge of beer cap against coin,
smack top of bottle.

Saves taking a chuck out of the table top.

Excellent little tip here

What?

Oh, I'm sorry, I realise that was quite unclear.

The OP was looking for a bottle opener, in most of the hotels I've stayed in there's been a bottle opener mounted to the bathroom wall. Usually above the bin.

Moot point now, unless he's on a giant, 24 hour bender.

You can do it with a very tightly folded up piece of paper - fold it about 7 times until it becomes rock hard. Lever it off the top of your thumb under the rim - it still hurts, but it hurts less than using a knife/spoon handle or something. You're able to apply more force before the pain gets too much and the top digs in to the paper slightly making it easier to maintain contact.

This is like being in the MacGuyver writers room.

Literally anything with a hard edge is a bottle opener, other bottles (most often), lighter, a coin, keys, a drinking glass, a rolled up and folded bank note/ reciept/ anything, a pair of jeans scrunched up, a knife (common in the kitchen), a frozen chicken, tv remote.

I can't honestly remember the last time I used a bottle opener, I tend to grab something hard and open with that.

You need a strong grip to be able to do it with smaller objects like coins or keys but overall it's all about leverage, hold the bottle by the neck firmly, grasp your hard object in your hand and place under the lid then push against your hand gripping the neck to lever the top of the bottle off.

If you have wimpy little hands it'll hurt by the way, take up piano or bass or something, you'll get a grip like a vice.

I still have a scar pretty much all the way down my right thumb from trying to open a bottle with a spoon as a student.

I'm hoping he's sobbing in the corner of the room about how much of a Woman he is.

Presuming he is. Most men learn how to remove a bottle top without a bottle opener at about aged 13

 

[Yaayuh!]

Gilly, you need to hand in your man card

I asked a friend this the other day as I had the same problem.

I used the keys and just flipped the lid off.

Use a key and your thumb for leverage.

Or, if you can get the technique right, you can do it with a 2 pence piece.

edit: I hope after 24 hours he's now had a beer.
