Years ago, when I was a college student, I once hitch-hiked through West Virginia. Each of the drivers that picked me up had a tallboy can of beer between his legs. Glad to know they weren't breaking any laws.

West Virginia is a unique place, though. I once had a car breakdown at night and the guy who picked me up and drove me to a phone had two live chickens tied up and flopping around in the back of his station wagon.

Yeah, that's what I want to do: open a bottle with the dirty underside of my shoe. lol. Plus flip-flops = ewwwwwwww
 
use a lighter ffs....

i mean the amount of effort to remove your seat belt and then do it back up is stupid.

also there are entire countries where drinking and driving is a-ok.

Just what I always wanted, a shoe that opens beer.

Hey snark if you want, but they're actually pretty great. I've had a few pairs of those when I lived in Florida, and for long days out on the water or partying at the beach they're pretty handy. If it's hot as balls out and you're only wearing trunks and tank top, it's nice not having to constantly bum an opener off people or attempt to open the bottle on furniture, part of a boat, etc.

Just saying.

I used to think that too, but after seeing people filet their lip(s) on a chipped bottle if they do it wrong, or just ruin a lighter, I think using the right tool is the best way to go. Also, what happens if no one there smokes?

Nice if you just stepped in some shit, just before opening a bottle.

I think I can understand your worry about that. Last time I was in Holland there was dog shit EVERYWHERE.

Luckily, American beaches, tiki bars, boardwalks and the decks of recreational fishing boats are pretty much fecal matter free, at least in my experience.

Although going along with your scenario, one wonders how drunk you'd need to be to look at the bottom of a shit encrusted sandal and either not notice, or think 'Yeah, why not?' I'm guessing that level of intoxication would preclude you from being able to stand upright and operate even a simple lever.
 
I wear suits often just because I like to dress up, whoever invented Collar Stays with bottle openers is a fucking genius.
 
Find a sharp edge of something hard. Hold the lip of the cap to the edge with one hand and strike the wrist of that hand with a closed fist. Top pops off every time. Don't use counter top edge unless you like gouging your counter tops.
 
i had a late 80's mustang that had a spot on the inside door that was great for opening pepsi bottles..
