How to open a beer without complex tools
There is a simple way to open a bottle of beer without the need for complex tools. The secret lies in the bottle cap. Normally, bottle caps are designed to be tightly sealed, creating a pressure difference between the air inside and outside the bottle. This makes it difficult to open the bottle. Like opening a can, some people use the method of tapping the bottom of the bottle.
In fact, this helps air from the bottom touch the top of the bottle, creating a pressure difference and making the cap easier to move. This method can also be applied to beer bottles, but be careful not to tap directly on the bottom of the bottle, as this method may not be as effective for tall bottles as it is for cans.
Around the bottle cap, there is a tightly sealed plastic ring that helps hold the cap tightly. Therefore, you just need to use a lighter to apply heat to the mouth of the bottle for a few seconds. At that time, the air will come into contact with the inside of the bottle, and you just need to gently twist the bottle cap to easily open it.
In case you don’t have a bottle opener, there are other approaches you can try.
Touching the bottle mouths
If you don’t have a tool, some people may choose to touch the mouths of two bottles together. However, this method can break the bottle mouths or damage the table. This is not a safe method and should be used with caution.
Using mutual force
Another method is to use mutual force to “touch” the mouths of two bottles together. Place one bottle cap on top of the other bottle cap to create an up and down state and gently touch it quickly. This method is relatively safe, however, make sure to hold the two bottles tightly to avoid risks.
Opening beer with a spoon or chopsticks
Using a spoon
Choose a sturdy and solid spoon. Flip the spoon upside down and place the head of the spoon under the beer cap. Firmly grasp the neck of the bottle and use your thumb as a support point for the spoon, then lever the beer cap. Repeat around the beer cap until the cap pops off.
Using chopsticks
Use the thicker end of the chopsticks and place it under the beer cap in a similar way to using a spoon. Firmly grasp the neck of the bottle and use your thumb as a support point for the chopsticks. Lift the chopsticks from the bottom up to easily open the beer cap. Remember, although beer contains alcohol, the alcohol content in beer is not too high. Drink responsibly and do not exceed the limit of alcohol consumption to ensure safety.
