Looks like I'm in the minority that is a leftie and uses their left hand to open bottles.
Funnily enough, I use scissors and hold my toothbrush in my right hand

I have to admit, it crossed my mind to :D

OT, Right-handed and I use my right hand to open bottles so I guess I'm kinda "normal" in that regard. However, I'm in a similar situation in the way I eat. Almost all right handed I know eat with the fork in their left hand and the knife in their right hand (that's how they put in restaurant too) but I always switch them to eat like a left handed.
No real explanation I guess, that's just weird...

Yea this is really surprising. I'm right handed and use my left hand to open bottles. It just seems so much more intuitive, because you move both of your hands in towards each other. I do try switching hands if my left hand is too slippery sometimes.

I feel like the hand that holds the bottle requires more strength than the one spinning the shit.
+ once you have opened the bottle, are you gonna switch hands to pour the liquid ?

However, my brother is right handed, but he kicks with his left foot.

That has nothing to do with anything :D

I'm left-handed - but my dominant leg is right...
My bro is right-handed - but his dominant leg is left...

My dad is right, right
My mom is lefty (and doesn't know her leg lol, never played sportskekekeke)

On topic:
Lefty - opens with left hand. However when I'm drunk I do it opposite hence (as someone already mentioned) it's your instinct to grab with your dominant hand - hence opening with your non-dominant

Right handed, I usually hold the bottle in my left hand and open it with the right hand. Not always though

I use both hands, depends on which one is more free I guess.

Whenever I use Rifles though I shoot left handed.

Left/Left but more specifically I use my left ring finger to form a circle around the bottle cap and twist it. I am a man of technique rather than brute strength.

some people twist the cap with their dominant hand subconsciously, some people twist the bottle with their dominant hand subconsciously :D

i guess it depends on how you grab the bottle, I always grab the bottle by the cap so i grab the bottle with my left hand and open it with the right wich is already in place. However, if im just grabing the bottle with my right hand normaly, i opened with my left hand because its faster.
