I'm sitting at my girlfriend's place with 15 Sam's in the Fridge...
She doesn't have a bottle opener... I don't have my gerber on me. Its raining and 47 degrees, so I'm trying to avoid the mile walk to CVS to buy one

Bic lighter. If you know the Bic technique, then many things can be used.

Got a plastic lighter?
Edge of a railing? ETA: Damn 12 seconds! |

Got a disposable lighter?
Use it as a lever, it'll chew up the end of the lighter, but the cap will pop off. Place finger and thumb around neck of bottle 1/2" from the cap. Insert base end of lighter. 'pop' ETA, um, yeah, what they said. |

No lighter. This is a "semi-dry" dorm (i.e. I'm 21, she's not, so there shouldn't be beer in her fridge right now), so walking out and opening em on the railings wouldn't be the best idea.

Just use the edge of the countertop.
The scars left behind will serve as a reminder for her to keep a bottle opener handy.

Anything flat and around inch wide that you can use a lever? I just popped a beer with a standard house key (for academic purposes only of course  ). I KNOW you have a key on you.

That little D shaped latch on the door frame of your car was designed to be the perfect size for taking the tops off a beer. It is kinda hard to use when I am driving though!

Place a LaRue order and wait for the 'dillo. The wait will serve as punishment and a reminder to keep an opener handy next time.

Do you have a carabiner or a butter knife with a thick base?
Hold the bottle cap firmly inside your index finger and thumb so you are gripping the cap almost all the way around. Without moving your fingers at all wedge something between the cap and your finger and use your finger as the fulcrum. Should pop right off. I haven't smoked in years but I still carry a lighter for this reason. And for making fire. ETA: Pocket knives work to, but NOT the blade.

You need to hand in your man card RIGHT NOW. Kids these days.
Alright, place the edge of the bottle cap on the edge of the counter. Put lots of downward pressure on the bottle, and smack the cap with your fist. Pop! Enjoy. |

I just tried with a quarter and couldn't do it. The quarter is just too short to get enough leverage. I have a stong grip too. Pops right off with a house key though. |

Somebody skipped dorm-room(101)
1) Crack open door 2) Place bottle cap edge on top edge of door 3) Pull down If you are too short for this method... the hinge works. Using the top edge of the door puts the bottle scars in a place where they are unlikely to be spotted. |

My method is the door frame method. Put the edge of the bottle's cap on the bottom edge of the metal lock plate in the frame, and hit the top of the bottle with your first or palm.

Put the sharp edge of the bottle top on the side of a table at a slight angle, then slam your hand down on the top of the cap.
It works, but chews up the table. |

That would be because my "dorm room" is in a barracks at a military college--the dry dorm policies there are actually enforced, with severe consequences...
She has the only can opener I've ever seen without a bottle opener... Also, I'm gonna have to try the 1911 ejection port method sometime... that IS my everyday carry piece when I'm home on furlough. |
