Most inventive improvised method to open alcohol?

[mrmr96]

My mate was surprised yesterday when I demonstrated how to open a "prise off" beer bottle lid using a sheet of A4 paper.

(Technique is you fold the paper in half lots of times, until it's the size of a stick of gum, then grip the neck of the beer tightly with your left hand so the thumb knuckle is about the width of the paper wad down from the lid. Then use the paper wad sideways, i.e. the stiffest way, in your right hand to prise the lid by levering against your left thumb.)

So, what inventive ways have you used to get into your beers/wines etc when you didn't have the "proper" tools to hand?

Here is 20 of them:

I've got to try the CD one.

Sabrage is my favourite one.

Probably not particularly inventive and certainly not clever, but I used a knife last week. Wish I knew where she'd left the bottle opener.

Shoe for a bottle of wine

[Tyre Smoke]

Ring (wedding ring for preference) to open a beer bottle.

As CB says, a shoe (preferably a stiletto)for a wine bottle cork

Edge of a table for a beer bottle too.

I always use my lighter to open a bottle of beer

[Crosswise]

Tyre lever, spade, toaster, frying pan, spatula, pliers, hammer, screw driver, shoe and many more that I've forgotten. I didn't own a bottle opener the whole time I was at uni, I used a pair of mole grips, once the gap between the jaws is set correctly they are perfect.

Used that a few times, always impresses and I've never had it fail yet. (touch wood)

How do you open wine with a shoe? (I assume you don't stamp on it!!)

Obviously it's a bottle with a cork!

Push the cork into the bottle with the stiletto heel of the woman you are trying to impress. The technique can be tricky, too much force and you get wine all up your arm.

When I'm feeling particularly 'laddy' I shotgun cans of lager.

It's extremely messy, but does get you drunk rather quickly...

I knew a bloke who used bite the lids off beer bottles! Never tried meself, I'm not keen on dentists
The edge of a table is always popular at, other peoples, house parties

Opening a beer using another beer always draws nods of respect.

I flck'em off with the tip of my thumb.

[Fishtigua]

To open beer bottles, the corner of the dashboard of a S11A Landrover. Designed for it, I'm sure.

Has anyone tried the CD one - doesn't look plausible to me? I would try but bit early even for me.
