You don't have to read if you don't want (even though I may be dying). I just want to see if anyone on the internet has ever experienced this before, and seeing as this is the most active beer forum I could find-
I have one of these kinds of cheap aluminum keychain bottle openers (mine is blue):

It was the very first time I ever used it. I rubbed it down with rubbing alcohol and dish soap, then opened a bottle of beer and heard a crunching sound. Didn't think much of it, and drank the beer (first from the bottle, then I poured the rest in a glass).
I looked at the bottle opener later and saw that the blue paint on the part that rubbed against the bottle was chipped, and there was a loose paint chip hanging off. I checked the lip of the bottle I drank out of, and sure enough, there was a little blue paint chip on there too.
Is accidentally drinking a small amount of chipped paint from one of these things dangerous? Logic says no, they wouldn't be able to make them with that cheap paint if it were toxic. But my stomach kind of hurts and my throat feels weird. Should I worry?
