3 practical ways to open a beer bottle

With another bottle

As a rule, we have more than one bottle on hand in its original state. The beauty is that by themselves two glass containers with 0.5 liters of beer already turn into a bottle opener.

Do not try to hook the bottles with the cloves of the corks and "pull apart" them - nothing good will come of it. Better to grip one bottle tightly by the neck so that the distance between your finger and the cork is slightly less than the diameter of the cork itself. We take the second bottle and rest the edge of its cork against the teeth of the bottle being opened. The resulting lever will allow you to easily open the bottle with a light and confident movement of your hand.

However, one problem remains: how to open the last bottle?:)

With a lighter

As in the previous case, we firmly take the bottle by the neck, but now the grip should be almost close to the cork. We slip the lighter under the cloves of the cork.

The phalanx of the finger will act as a fulcrum (so it is important to grip the bottle tightly) and the lighter becomes a great lever. Confidently and with effort we press on the opposite edge of the lighter body (do not worry about your finger, it will not break), after which we get the desired "pyschsch".

Using thick paper

Any (probably, except for toilet) paper, when handled correctly, turns into a bottle opener. Perhaps someone took a magazine or notebook with them? Fabulous! We sacrifice a page in the name of a foamy drink and tightly fold the sheet into a version of a tube, but only flatten it at the end.

Now, if you fold the resulting multi-layer strip in half, then the fold will be hard and strong enough to open the bottle.

The correct grip technique to create leverage remains unchanged.

Text instructions with pictures are, of course, good, but nobody canceled the truth “it's better to see once”, and therefore we invite you to familiarize yourself with the video that clearly demonstrates the methods described above.
