Brian W. Neuschwander suggests a cure for vapor lock...

This will work, but Brian forgot an important point:
Only the top 2-3 ounces of the beer will work properly for
this purpose (has something to do with where the bubbles
are formed, I think). If more is needed, you need to open
more bottles. Sometimes it takes four or five applications.
The remainder of the beer is wasted. Dispose of it
in an environmentally friendly fashion. (Don't test
drive immediately after!)
