7 Ways to Open a Bottle of Beer or Soda Without a Bottle Opener

What to do if there is no opener? Remember physics and the principle of leverage - this is what the methods of opening a bottle of beer or soda are based on. The lever can be constructed from available materials. I have collected seven of the best ways and divided them by topic: study, remember and use! And at the end, a pleasant bonus awaits the most patient readers.

Lighter or key

Any hard object with a smooth and flat surface, such as a spoon or coin, will also work.

1. We take the lighter with our hand so that the lower part of the body protrudes from the side of the thumb.
2. With the other hand we grasp the bottle as close to the lid as possible.
3. Place the corner of the lighter under the cork and press on the top. The hand that holds the vessel serves as a fulcrum for the makeshift lever.
4. The lid is removable and you can enjoy your drink!

A car belt buckle has a perfect square hole cut into it. It works great as an opener, the main thing is not to experiment while the car is moving!

Among the shortcomings, I would like to immediately note that the keys can be bent, and the lighter can be scratched or even broken.

Second bottle of beer

Place the bottle vertically on the table and press firmly. With the second hand we take another container and place the edge of the lid under the edge of the first.Click and open! The same lever principle works, and after a couple of openings you will gain experience, and the process will take a few seconds. Just remember - the last container will remain sealed until next time.

Paper

We take any piece of paper, newspaper or magazine, and tear it out of the notebook. Some beer lovers even open their drink with banknotes! We fold the sheet as tightly as possible as many times as possible. Then we proceed as in the first method, loosening the lid.

Unfortunately, thick paper is not always available nearby, especially when camping outside the city.

About the ledges

Any wooden ledge will suit us: railings, edges of furniture or benches. You just need to stop the lid and pull it down sharply. I do not recommend using metal railings; they easily break glass.

The method is controversial, it is on the verge of vandalism, because the lid often leaves unsightly scratches on the wood and damages property.

Fire

This method can surprise even a lady; it does not require physical strength, only ingenuity.

• We heat the lid with the fire of a lighter for a couple of seconds, it expands due to heating and reduces the strength of the closure.
• Then we return to the first method and attach the stopper with the bottom of the lighter.

In case of heating, we save time and effort, so I recommend remembering this!

Other unexpected items

We figured out that the main thing in discovery is compliance with the rule of leverage. I am developing the topic further and suggesting what else can be used as an opener.

1. Belt buckle.
2. Men's signet.
3. Thin heels (unsterile, but effective!).
4. Scissors.
5. Wire cutters.
6. Knives.
7. Hammers.
8. Electrical plug (iron, hair dryer or kettle).
9. Skate blade.

Always and everywhere remember to follow safety measures! There is absolutely no place for injuries and blood flows after a failed experiment at the holiday.

Extreme and courage

If you want to surprise your friends, here's what you can do:

1. Bite the edge of the cork with your teeth and push up. This method is suitable for those with very strong molars!
2. How to open with your eyes? Hold the neck between your cheek and eyebrow and jerk it down.

Accuracy and caution will help you avoid visiting a traumatologist!

Promised bonus

And now I want to tell all my beloved readers what to do with a jar on which the ring has broken. Each of us has had such an unpleasant story when we wanted to drink our favorite drink, but the ring from the can remained in our hands, and the container remained sealed. There are some basic tips:

• take a knife and make a puncture in place of the ring;
• pry up the broken area with a knitting needle, nail file, screwdriver or wrench;
• press very, very hard with your finger on the place to open the can.

As you can see, the issue is resolved quickly and easily!

When you open any carbonated drink, foam appears. In order not to wet yourself and enjoy the process of drinking and socializing culturally, I advise you to remember a few rules:

• the drink foams less when it’s cold, so don’t be lazy about refrigerating it or take the beer from the refrigerator at the store;
• never shake the container;
• Beer should be poured into the glass at a slight angle, so the carbon dioxide meets less resistance and raises the drink into a huge head of foam.
• The glasses must be rinsed very well, otherwise the detergent will bind carbon dioxide and the foam will settle almost immediately.

To paraphrase Archimedes, give me a fulcrum and I will open any container!
