Beer Bottle Trick

ohsix · Posted: Mar 03, 2004 5:01 pm Post subject: Beer Bottle Trick

Has anyone ever seen someone break the bottom out of a beer bottle by putting some water in it and hitting it on the top? My roomate was telling me about it and I saw a picture os someone doing it on the internet. So my question is does anyone know how to do this?

Yup. It's done just how you described. Just make sure you do it over a garbage can or outside. And don't try to use your forehead unless you're really drunk.

I've seen people put the cap folded in half into the bottle and swing it around for a while and perforate and edge inside and make a clean break.

I tried it with a smirnoff bottle a couple of weeks ago and it wouldn't work. The neck was shorter than a beer bottle so I couldnt hit it very hard with my other hand.

How much water are you supposed to put in it and do you need to tilt it at an angle or hit the bottle with your hand or hit your on the bottle (like move just your opposite hand or just the bottle or both?) Any other special techniques?

Not too much water, like a centimeter high. It doesn't matter if you tilt it a little or have it straight up and down, as long as it isn't horizontal. If you're right handed- hold the neck with your left hand and keep your right hand stretched out. Then quickly smack down as hard as you can on the opening with the center of your palm, like you're hitting a gameshow buzzer. That's pretty much all there is to it. I never heard of the bottlecap idea, I just figured that if the bottom came out clean then you got lucky. If you do it right your hand barely hurts at all, but if not then it sorta hurts.

Oh ya- I don't think that a smirnoff would work. Isn't the glass a bit thicker? The trick I'm working on now is getting a beer can to suction cup to my forehead.... but I don't think I'll ever be able to get it.

I've seen what kswiss described but with a penny not a cap. It's never worked for me though

Ive seen the 'bottle tap' a bunch of times, where you smack their bottle neck with the bottom of your bottle and the pressure causes the carbonation in the beer to fire off like a geyser. Pretty ruthless trick actually, it kills the beer and makes everything within 5 ft smell like barley and hops.

Ive only seen it take the bottom of the bottle off once or twice, and I really dont see a need to try, broken glass is such a pain to clean!

Taking the bottom out is easy as described above with just hitting the bottle with water in it... However, here is my caution. Once I saw the neck break and actually cut the hand holding the bottle so use caution.

I really like that one Jim, I suck at it though. It's always funny to get someone on their 21st b-day...

Why does water need to be in it? Can't it just be beer? Although I'm sure y'all don't want to waste any.

For all of you who like to try to be tough. You take a dime and put it in a empty beer bottle and shake it, it will make a rattleing sound but then all of a sudden the pitch of the sound will change. Now your ready. A small tap on the head and the bottle shatters. Pretty dumb but kind of cool at crazy parties.

How does this stuff work?

Jim M · Wakeboarder.com Freak Joined: 17 Jan 2003 Posts: 2933

Just from pressure- when you rattle the dime around, I think it makes hairline fractures and just weakens the bottle. When you smack the top, all that pressure inside has to go somewhere- it pushes out, finds the weak hairlines, and boom it shatters. Thats why the 'bottom' breaks off cleanly, bc of the way the glass is blown.

here's another one.. take an empty beer bottle and a full bottle that still has the cap on.. rub the tops together, up and down, so that the little rib things run over each other.. keep doing it and soon the neck of the full beer bottle will pop off like a cork..

note: you're gonna have to pour your newly opened beer into a glass so you don't cut up your lips

another one...

take an empty beer bottle, hold it against the wall in the corner of a room, so that both walls are touching the bottle. now pushing the bottle against the wall, move it up and down fast. then stop moving it up and down, hold it in place against the wall and take your hand away. it should stick to the wall. its obviously because the paint/bottle heat up with friction, then when you hold the bottle in place the paint/bottle cools and sticks to the paint. but be careful, because it can do a bit of damage to your paint sometimes.

Another fun one.

Take a full beer bottle and twist off the bottle cap. Put the top to your mouth. Open your mouth. Begin to swallow. After a while you'll see that all the hot women are talking to you.

You can also do what nick mentioned with bottle caps, you don't need a corner either. Just move it back and forth real fast on the wall and it will stick.

My buddy and I 'prepped' each other for out upcoming bar fights by smashing empty beer bottles over our heads. You don't even hear it shatter when it hits you, just instant ringing.

Oh, and I've seen Smirnoff bottles get broken by knocking the bottom off w/ water in it. It's possible, I can't seem to be able to do it though, just regular beer bottles.

as said b4, women don't get more attractive the more you drink...simply more acceptable.

kswiss, i've never heard of a more true statement, its like the beer starts discussing things with your brain, and for some reason your brain doens't want to fight with the beer, if only it would

Certainly the most informative thread on wb.com in.... well... ever I guess. Laughing

kyle, thats exactly what i was saying. You shake it around and it smashes over your head pretty easy. dosnt hurt at all. But when you wake in the morning you have glass all up in your mane and stuff.

I've done it with a 16p nail, pointy side down. Actually needed to make a funnel. SHake it up and down a bunch of times and the nail with take the bottom right off.
