Open a coconut: find the 3 eyes of the coconut. One of the eyes looks a little different from the other 2 - this one is easiest to open, but you can open the coconut from any eye. Insert a screwdriver or sharp knife into the eye. If needed, use the help of a hammer or mallet to break the screwdriver through the coconut shell to fully open the eye. Invert the coconut over a glass and let the coconut water drip out. (Note: Make sure the coconut doesn't slip around or you could injure yourself.)
