Rings. I'm married and have a tungsten ring, so it's basically always on my hand. Some bottles don't give you much room to get under the cap, but I can get most anything open pretty quickly.

My favorite trick is using another bottle to open a bottle.
During my fraternity days, I would often say, "the world is my bottle opener" just before using some random object to open a beer.
All that really matters is if its sturdy and small enough to catch over your knuckle and under the rim. Literally any object like that will work.
Lighter. I smoke, so I always have one handy.
Hmm. I'd have the concern that the lighter could break spewing butane everywhere.
Only buy Bic. The cheap ones would make me nervous as well.
Best/portable: Bottle opener keychain, most alcohol shops will give you one, there's usually a beer doing a promo with them, just ask them because they probably have a box they keep forgetting to give out.
Creative: probably lawnmower.
Cap against edge of concrete ledge. My friends and I bought a bottle of cider at a 7/11 and realized we didn't have a bottle opener. Cue that moment of brilliance from my mate.
Angle just the cap onto the edge of a table and pound it with your fist. Results not guaranteed
I've done this before and left very angry scratches
The trick is to do it on a table you don't care about, like your crappy roommates' table that's definitely not an antique, Greg.
I keep a corkscrew in my purse. It’s just nice to have
Learn from my mistake.
Don't use a knife as the lever.
Doubly so if you're already intoxicated.
Just because its theoretically possible does not make it a good idea.
Sounds painful
Not so much at the time. Just messy in a biohazardous way.
Now the next day, sans booze... Yeah. Basically butterflied my finger a bit.
I'm not sure I could identify every type of pain, but that was certainly one of them.
Car door latch. Fence bracket.
