Have you ever found yourself out and about and in need of a way to get at some liquid refreshment? Sure there are flashier ways to open a bottle, but in my experience this is a nice, easy, and quick way to open your own or a companion's drink without making a production out of it.
You'll need
a) a fairly sturdy ring that isn't too soft
b) a closed bottle of some sort
(for purposes of this demonstration ignore the fact that IBC root beer comes with twist off caps, this trick will work for all standard bottle caps, most usefully being those which require the use of a bottle opener ;-)

If you've ever tried to get at the contents of a bottle without the benefit of a twist off cap or a proper bottle opener you know first hand how painful those small folds that hold it in place can be. However they're also the key to getting in. Basically all bottle openers use the principle that you slide something hard underneath one edge of the bottle cap and you push up, sometimes using part of the bottle opener to bend the bottle cap making it easier to remove.
So where to find something hard to pry that little sucker off?

or, if you don't feel like having to buy something just to open bottles, then bam do it with a plain old ring or bam do it with a spoon ( www.instructables.com/id/Open-a-beer-bottle-with-just-a-spoon-1/ )
