hate that, it happened to me once.
i took a dremel to it.
do it outside...plastic stinks.
its tough, so don't try knocking it off or whatever, it has to be sawed off. fastest way is dremel.

Was my first thought as well.

Dremels also work on brass gas company lockouts. Allegedly 😛

Dude, it's an electronic alarm tag to keep people from stealing booze.

On a $30 bottle! That's frightening.

They now have them on the $11 bottles of Evan Williams at the Walmart near me... AND the $4 bottles of vermouth :Q

You've gotta stick something long and skinny into the 3 holes and pull.

Unfortunately, the OP is only equipped with a short and skinny tool.

😱 I just figured it was a child-proof cap.

Still, I've never seen one of those...

They have them in many stores here because the supermarkets stock such a large quantity of booze. They generally only put these on the more expensive bottles of booze. I think it's more to keep people from breaking the seals on the bottles than anything.

But... I already repented!

I have never seen such a thing. Also I'd HIGHLY recommend against breaking it and drinking. While it sounds like a good idea but you do NOT want any glass in your digestive system.

Ok, I take back the lulz.

They're a major freaking hassle, because they don't keep one of the devices to remove it at every register, so if you don't check out in the one aisle that has it, you have to wait for them to go take it off.

I'd be pissed if I was stuck with only Coors light too...:beer:

I had this happen once on a bottle of Tequila. My wife wanted to make Margaritas.

I took the bottle out in the garage, and clamped it to the work bench. Then I got the Saws-All out and proceeded to cut away the top. Took me about 10 minutes to remove 🙂.

 

[illusion88]

so did you get it off?

That's what she said

I'd probably just smack the tip with a chefs knife, filter it through a regular coffee filter into another bottle.

I don't get the elaborate solutions to simple problems.

 

[0roo0roo]

nothing elaborate, breaking the bottle then having to filter out broken glass and rebottle is...not exactly simple, its crude🙂

 

[CraKaJaX]

Sawzall.

I was just going to mention dremel but I see it's already been said. Just be careful nothing falls inside and you should be good.

Or if it looks like you can safely drill a hole right from the top, do that, and you can still pour (slowly lol)

 

[Kelvrick]

So... You like drinking from the black bush?

 

[OCGuy]

Admit you stole it?

You would have set off an alarm at the store.

 

[jersiq]

IIRC correctly, those are "locked" by a magnet. Have a magnet laying around?

nothing can fall inside, its a sheath of plastic around a plastic core, its just a load of plastic to cut off. but its easy because it pretty much just melts through with a dremel blade. its obvious once you start cutting it and you can see more.

drilling through the top just puts plastic particles into 30 dollar liquor.

It takes less than two minutes and it's simple and you won't have anything spilling nor glass in your drink.

Crude? Who gives a fuck, it's not like it will taste any different if you'll use a more elaborate method.
