Rugby players are a carousing type who appreciate a good time, and one beer company is making it even easier for several players to enjoy the revelry.

Salta, a Argentine beer company that sponsors of the country's rugby union, decided to give back to the hard-hitting community by offering dental surgery to players to repair broken teeth.

 "We decided to give rugby players back the teeth they had lost in battle," Salta Beer told the Daily Mail. "But we weren't going to give them a simple tooth back, we developed a unique dental implant; a specially designed tooth to open beer."

Although the new bottle-opening teeth seemed like the must just be a fictitious marketing gimmick, the stunt was turned into a commercial that showed footage of the players actually undergoing dental surgery to receive their new beverage-opening implants. The best part? The bottle-opening teeth actually work.
