If you’re looking for a unique way to stock your cabinets with drinking glasses and don’t want to spend a lot of money… and you want to get drunk on top of it, then this trick is for you.

It’s extremely simple to do if you have the right tools, those tools being the following: a piece of string, an empty beer bottle, nail polish remover, a lighter, sandpaper and a sink/bucket full of cold water.

What you’re going to do is take a string and tie it around the bottle where you want to cut it, do this before you soak it so that you can get the correct fit. Next you’ll soak the string in the nail polish remover and place it around the bottle. Light the string with the lighter and pick up the bottle, slowly rotate it around in a circle like you see in the video above. After 30 or so seconds, dunk the top of the bottle into the water and the glass should “pop” from the sudden change in temperature, thus breaking the bottom at it’s weakest point, the place you just heated up.

Before you use your new glass to drink out of you’re going to want to sand down the top edges so you don’t cut yourself when drinking out of them. The video above doesn’t show the sanding part, but hopefully you’re smart enough to know that you’ll cut the hell out of your face if you try to drink out of the freshly broken bottle.

This trick also works with wine bottles (or any bottle really), so if you want to do something creative with those this will work also, although it may require a bit longer burn on the string to heat the bottle a bit more.

Have you ever found yourself out in the middle of the woods with a bottle of wine and a glass, but no cork screw? If that sounds like a situation you could possibly find yourself in then this trick is for you.

Essentially all you need to open a wine bottle is a towel, or something to wrap around the bottle so you can get a good grip, and a tree. Just wrap the towel around the bottle and gently, but firmly, hit the bottom of the bottle against the tree and the cork will slowly being to pop itself out. Sure it’ll appear as though you’re giving the tree a hand job, but once it’s done you can finally enjoy that nice glass of wine you’ve been waiting for.

Ever find yourself with a nice cold beer in your hand, but no way to open it? There are plenty of ways to open a beer bottle without having a bottle opener… and this is one of those ways. I’ve seen lots of people use a lighter or the edge of a counter, but not too many people can bust out a piece of paper and open a beer with it. So check out the video above and learn how to open a beer bottle with just a piece of paper.

Picture this, it’s New Years Eve and almost midnight, the champagne is ready to be de-corked and everyone is excited to ring in the New Year… but wait, what’s this? Nobody wants to de-cork the bottle due to their own fears of cork related accidents… Luckily you’re not a pussy and are totally willing to open the bottles for everyone, but in order to show them all up, you do it with a giant turkey carving knife instead of your tiny lady hands…

If that sounds like the situation you expect to find this New Years Eve then make sure to check out the video above which shows you (in multiple tries) how to pop that cork like it’s 1999… or whatever year it happens to be.

Gizmodo has a step-by-step guide which you can find >here< but essentially it’s what you see in the video, just make sure the bottle is extremely cold and you’re using the blunt edge of the knife to do the de-corking… it could be seriously dangerous if you decided to use the sharp end, although this looks dangerous in all respects so attempt at your own risk.
