Another Bottle 

If you want to get a bottle open chances are you'll usually have another bottle handy. I was skeptical of this method when I had first heard about it. But as it turns out this is both an effective and efficient means of bottle cap removal.

Hold one of the bottles upside down at a slight angle. Press both of the caps together and then pinch them between your palm and fore finger. Squeeze your hand into a fist and slowly increase the angle of the top bottle. Within seconds the top will pop off of the bottom bottle and you'll be ready to enjoy your refreshment.
