    Any neat beer tricks you've learned over the years? Off the bat, two come to mind for me:

    Smoking while drinking a beer:

    Burger (and their bottle manufacturer) made it much easier when they designed a stubby-ish bottle (looks close to a Glass Can design) with a build-in opener in the base.

    From the video "It's a common problem, you go to the cooler to get a beer and there's no opener...". Common? In a kitchen? How 'bout In your pocket on a keychain or pocket knife? I mean, sure I've never had the problem...

    "Murder"? C'mon. :open_mouth: They crawled (or whatever than means of locomotion is called) into that saucer of beer all on their own. I rule that suicide.

    I can make it disappear and then via transmutation it comes out of another orifice as a different liquid.

    Two main things:

    -Opening a bottle with a Bic lighter, really handy when I was drinking out with friends in my younger days.

    -Making a nice little bubble out of the bottle when pouring fairly aggressively, usually manage this with Belgian strong pale ales.

    I mean, you’re right of course but this analogy unfortunately applies to near all advocates. :grimacing:

    It is always best to drink beer from a glass vs. a bottle but one more reason is to avoid somebody tapping the top of your bottle to create a beer volcano:

    A bit more 'humane' than The Three Stooges method:

    That beer is not part of their natural ecosystem. Let’s just call it assisted suicide.

    Opening a bottle with a cabinet door, if you're in a hotel without an opener. It will likely damage the door but it will also open your bottle.

    This also works on any hard right angle surface...

    Used to open beers with the door latch on my old datsun.

    I've used beer to trick myself into thinking members of the opposite sex were actually attracted to me.

    But did it help you in the opposite direction?

    Normally I leave posting GIFs to JackHorzempa or others but the temptation was too strong…

    Check out videos by a Chinese guy named Pangzai. They're almost always the same: He's sitting at a table with a couple of bottles, and just piles of awesome looking food. He lights a glass of clear liquor on fire, dips his finger in it to light a cigarette, takes a puff, shakes off his finger, uses a chopstick to pop the top on a bottle of beer, sucks off a bit of foam, uses the cyclone beer chugging technique to down the beer, blows out the liquor, takes a shot, and then starts eating the mountain of delicious food in front of him. It's awesome.

    Here's a good example. The PBR liter having a screwcap takes away the fun of the chopstick open and foam suck, but still impressive.

    Wow! If he keeps making those videos doing all that with any frequency he's going to need a wide-angle lens.

    He claims to be a simple farmer. Some of his non-drinking/feasting videos shows him harvesting vegetables. Farm life definitely burns calories. He's been doing these videos for 6 or so years, and I don't think he's gotten any bigger, he just has bigger piles of food.

    Two other tricks I just remembered:
    • Using the bottom of a can to pry the tab off of another can.
    • Putting the bottom inner part of a glass on top of an open bottle, flipping it, and yanking the bottle to create a glass of 98% head.
