This method is an old acquaintance of many, but it costs nothing to remember it. Position the end of the lid over the edge of a counter or table and apply a strong slap over the lid. Just be careful when choosing the surface that will be coming from improvised opener, as this technique can scratch and damage some materials.

With a key

Another way to open that bottle of cold beer is by using a key. Simply detach three or four of the “teeth” that secure the cap to the bottle with the tip of a wrench and push the cap upwards.

With another bottle

To open a bottle using another bottle, simply position one bottle upside down and snap the two caps together. Then use the upside-down bottle as a lever, eliminating the cap.

With a money bill

Did you ever imagine that it was possible to open a bottle with a money bill? Simply fold a ballot several times until it is difficult to fold it in half. Position the mini opener under the lid, use your fingers as a lever and get rid of the lid.

With a drawer handle

Surely there are numerous drawer knobs scattered throughout your home, right? Then, to use them as an opener, snap the bottle cap under the handle and make a quick lever move.

With an old lighter

This is also an old trick, which involves fitting the end of an old lighter over the edge of the lid and using your fingers as a lever. The technique is very similar to that of the money bill.
