Using one bottle to open another is extremely dangerous. What if both caps
come off at the same time? Then you would have to drink two beers......and
we know how awful that would be!

In Denmark, twist-off caps are unknown. Most Danes seem to learn very early
in life how to use an unopened bottle to open another bottle, or to use a
lighter using the same technique. I have never mastered their methods, so I
tend to use a danish comb (aluminium, with a built-in bottle opener), or my
Leatherman Micro (knife). The latter, by the way, is an extremely versatile
tool, and takes almost no space in a camera bag.
