Just moved, stuff is still in storage. Bought a case of beer. I think you see where this is heading.

The last time this happened, a friend's shoes had a built in bottle opener.


I think everything - shoes, bike wrenches, engagement rings - should have a built-in bottle opener.

Bah, you'd be surprised what will work as a bottle opener in a pinch.


Who needs a specialty tool? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bmRQD07HV0&feature=related)Okay, maybe not after watching that... and the related video of a woman opening a bottle with her chest.

Slightly more weight-weenie and aero, and less dangerous than carrying glass bottles around:

Ha. You haven't been detained and questioned in GA.:rolleyes:Nay, and not too likely to happen, I wouldn't think. :P

I've had a police officer inspect the bike very closely (close enough to write down the make and model of the bike as "Brooks Champion Special" :rolleyes:), and he didn't say a thing about the flask. Plus, bikes are of no consequence here.

Hell, I've even had company bigwigs see the bike parked in my office, and they're amused by the flask. :)

It just chips your teeth, it doesn't pull them out completely. I guess they could smooth over the chips.

Protip: If you file your canines sharp, you can simply puncture the cap of the bottle and pour the beer out through the hole.

Done it. Thank you, Esquire!

The flat end of a Bic lighter also works the same way as the magazine method. Just make sure it's a full-size one!

Have opened a twist-off cap via the forearm method as well.
