It’s easy to tell the drinkers by their teeth…

Hey, Blog Guy. I just got a nice new bottle opener for Christmas, and it made me curious to know how they open beers in other countries?

I am touched by your abiding interest in other cultures. In some places, they prefer opening bottles the natural way. Of course, most people can only use that method 32 times before they run out of teeth. After that, I suppose they switch to cans.

Dear Bottle Opener,

I find the best way to open a bottle of beer is around the back of someones head after a drunken fracas in the Royal Lagoon Pub and Restaurant.

This works a treat, I highly recommend it. Excellent results all round.
