With your right hand you will be pulling on the cap with your thumb/thumb side of your palm.
With your left hand you will be pushing the cap with that side or pulling with your fingers.
Why is this relevant?

i dunno is it? I've hurt my hand on beer bottles before.

I open bottles with my right hand and I'm right handed.

I'm left handed and used my left hand...then again I shoot right handed, I use the mouse right handed, but I write left handed. I think my hands are just confused.

I am right handed and using left hand to open bottle. I think I do that because I can hold the bottle firm in my right hand so my left hand can have more momentum to open the bottle quickly.!!

I'm right handed but I vary between right and left hand to open bottles as I seem to used to use both hands. On hard to open bottles I usualy prefer to use right hand, but if it is very hard then I alternate between hands to reduce fatigue and wear the lock down.

I tried to find a video, or even image of Sakaki from the Kenichi manga/anime opening a beer, but I gave up after a bit and settled for this.

This poll result is very interesting, it seems that what hand you use is totally random.

I've seen an advertisement where a woman opens a beer bottle using the concave of the eye area. Of course that was acted, they were advertising a certain car which is supposedly "tough". Would be cool to be able to do that though.

Am I the only one who clicked on this after seeing the words "Which hand do you use to..." on the side bar?

Use my right hand (am right-handed myself), to open as it's where I wear my bar blade.

As for screw tops, depends I picked up the bottle lol.

You need two hands to open a bottle

Or a hand and an arm! lol

I hold the cap in my right hand, but twist the bottle with my left hand...

Actually nevermind I twist with both.

The bottle cap is smaller and requires more dexterity to grip and twist properly ergo you should twist it with your dominant hand which by nature is more dexterous. That's at least how I do it (Right-Right btw)

And more stuck on tops grip is more likely to falter on the cap because of the surface area difference and would also be gripped with the dominant hand.
