"Opening a beer bottle without a bottle opener"

Right. I have a bottle of bud here, I am short of a bottle opener and there are no solid surfaces to open the bottle with. I do however have a lighter handy and i know it's possible. Can anybody perhaps suggest how this is done? =\

Buy one for her and do the switch while you're drunk.

Buy a bottle opener.

Hmm.. you'd be surprised. Just kidding. True

An open bottle of beer looks much better than a closed one and a palm mashed to bloody strips.

Ah, true, but doesn't look as good.

You heat the cap, it expands, you open.

Thanks guys. Couldn't do the lighter method but I used the knife. Resulted in a bit of blood but i think that was actually the lighter =S. Still, any advice on the lighter method would be appreciated

That would result in the same thing that bad cweek is trying to accomplish.
