I don’t know about a beer bottle with opener included like the OP asks for, but this thread now also seems to also revolve around other ways to open beer bottles, so I’ll share a fantastic link - the definitive and illustrated one, I’d say - about that subject: [1000 ways to open a beer](http://stuff.twoday.net/) The site is in german (I think), but the (many) pictures really speak for themselves. ---

> [@Cisco](#): > > the beer-opener my high school gave me with their name printed on it I’m left wondering why a high school would make such items, considering that the kids aren’t supposed to be drinking. Even to give out to teachers or sell to parents it seems weird. Kinda cool as you note, but still weird. ---

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t spend much time sucking on bottle caps. Your mileage obviously varies. ---

> [@Labrador\_Deceiver](#): > > Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t spend much time sucking on bottle caps. Your mileage obviously varies. The shoe will still touch the rim of the bottle. I mean, it’s the _bottom of your shoe_! Probably one of the dirtiest things you have. Some people don’t even want the soles of shoes to touch the inside of their _homes_, let alone something you’ll put your mouth on! ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > The shoe will still touch the rim of the bottle. Not really, no. The edges of the opener, which probably rarely come into contact with the ground may barely touch it, but those type bottle openers really only touch the cap.
