How does one open bottles without a bottle opener?? HELP!! Seriously, it's important.

    You can do it with another bottle, using the other one's top as leverage, i do it all the time. Unless you are talking about a wine bottle, in which case you'll just have to smash the top off and hope for the best lol
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    I usually leverage it with a lighter, or give if a cuff with my palm on the edge of something

    Haven't tried the piece of paper method

    do you have a strong counter? place the cap on the edge of your counter and with the palm of your hand, hit the top of the bottle (cap).......then enjoy :)

    Yeah, as mentioned already - edge of a table, or something along those lines.

    IT'S OK! After shredding my fingers a bit, I finally got the bottles open with a knife....

    Let it commence! (I'm off to the relevant thread)

    For wine bottles you just push the cork down into the bottle. Take a shoelace and put a couple knots in one end of it. Sink the knotted end of the shoe lace into the bottle. Gently pull up until the knotted shoelace catches under the cork. Then pull like a madman. Voila, the cork is fully removed and in perfect condition for recorking the bottle.

    for wine:-

    take a large kitchen knife and force the cork into the bottle... pour away :)

    I'll have to try that, but why recork the bottle? it'll just be empty in about 20 mins anyways...hehe :D
