I need a fucking bottle opener!

harmless_little_f***

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

SENROCK

ahhh we've exxxperienced this at Party Palace.
try the edge of a door jamb.......or the side of a manual CAN opener......or a poket knife.......or the edge of the sink!

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

RolandTD20Kdrummer

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

Hitch-Hiker

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

Teeth ......just make sure you have the right technique

stu gee

I do it with my teeth sometimes which i know i shouldnt, but its so quick and effective.

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

It has always been seen as a drink for the young, the poor or the 'neds' as far as i remember. I started drinking it when i began getting my first carryouts, when i was maybe 13 as that's what everyone in school drank. Drank it most weekends untill i got to about 17 and i began sticking to beer and vodka, partly to avoid being labeled a ned. Then i got to about 19 and thought, what the hell, i actually quite enjoy the taste of it and if people want to judge others on what they drink then that is their problem.

Im 23 now and still drink it pretty frequently, and know people twice my age who are the same! At £5 pounds a bottle and 15% you cant really complain. Its made in the south of england but exported all over the world, although according to sales figures, glasgow/west central scotland has by far the most sales. Hear a lot of people referring to it as Coatbridge table wine lol

as a typical scotsman this is what i cant work out.. i buy wine at £3 a bottle that is 14%.... so for £6 i could fucking hammered, whereas neds buy it for £5 a bottle and its only a 1% more proof.. they should drink sherry or Aldi vodka straight.. or even better they should try and swallow gas canisters and kill themselves...
