99 Ways to Open a Beer Bottle Without a Bottle Opener

We’ve all been there and know how frustrating it is to have that cold, frosty, thirst-quenching beer in hand and suddenly realize that you can’t open it. We cannot always “be prepared” like a Boy Scout, but with this handy “how-to” reference guide, your problems will be solved. You will be able to accomplish this simple task no matter what environment you find yourself in. This manual has examples for a variety of common situations and circumstances that you many encounter. They include:

  • Home
  • On the Street
  • Office
  • Tool Box
  • Sporting Goods
  • In Womens’ Pocketbooks
  • In Your Pockets
  • Last Resort
  • Transportation

As you use and apply this information, you will soon realize the variants possible and come up with your own solutions. Let’s face it, all you’re doing is prying a round piece of metal off a round piece of glass. To accompany each example, I have instituted a skill-rating system. After the instructions, there is a beer bottle system for degrees of difficulty.
