How To Open A Beer Without A Bottle Opener (VIDEOS)

Have you ever been caught in a situation where you want to open a bottle of beer but don't have a bottle opener? Don't fret -- where there's a will, there's a way.

Recently the web has gone crazy over a video created by two guys and their friends on the 65 ways to open a beer bottle. It's impressive to say the least, but also dumbfounding (they use a machete, axe, nail gun, and motorcycle, to name a few examples). And if these guys weren't crazy enough, there's also a video circulating on YouTube of an old man using a chainsaw to open a beer bottle.

While those ideas are entertaining, they're not so useful. So we've gone ahead and researched all the ways you can open a beer bottle using household items without losing any fingers. If you've got a safe and easy method you'd like to share, submit a video below.

Wonder why they left out the striker plate of a car door?

anything flat will work. it's called leverage. just make sure you angle it right.

I prefer to open my beer WITH a bottle opener, my husband's "Drinkin' With Dubbya" bottle opener, which repeats silly things former President George W. Bush said on tape when you open a bottle.

About ten Years ago I tried to hook up with a girl at a party. She looked like a model, I didn't have a chance in he** with her. But she opened my beer with her teeth! And that's how she broke my heart.

Carry an opener with you. If you don't have that much savvy, you shouldn't be drinking. How do you think people drank canned beer back in the days before pop-tops?

I use a bic lighter. I'm not very good at it but I get the job done, my friend always laughs that I showed him how to do it and can barely do it myself.

The same concept works with a really tightly rolled-up newspaper.

I've open one before with teeth. Some with any flat surface with an edge...

They left off "smash the bottle against the bar." I see it done all the time at the bar down the street.

That's only to make a point.

Mine beats all of these,

use the door jamb, where the door latch fits into the wall. It makes a perfect lever, and it's quick, easy, and painless.

The one useful thing I learned while in a fraternity.

Why not just us a bottle opener? Nah, wouldn't be as much fun.
