Be Your Bottle Opener

This isn't a necessary skill, of course. But it makes for a nice party trick and sure comes in handy at times of great need. Here's a clever way of opening a bottle, whether you're cracking open a Belgian beer or Coca-Cola Mexicana, without chipping your teeth.

 
1

Firmly grasp the beer bottle with your index finger around the neck, near the edge of the cap.

 
2

Take a second bottle and hold it upside down, while lining up the pinches on the caps. It's sometimes helpful to place your thumb over the opener bottle's cap.

 
3

Then, pull your bottle down at a slight angle and the cap will release.

 

FYI

Though some suggest using a wedding or class ring to open a bottle, know that many precious metals can be pulled out of shape using this method.
