An internal liner for a cooler is provided having a base attached to a set of side walls with handles along the uppermost edge thereof. The base includes a plurality of apertures disposed along its surface to allow liquid to pass therethrough. The liner is placed into a cooler or similar container prior to normal use. When ice is used in conjunction with a cooler, it melts and forms standing water. The liner holds stored items within the cooler and can be lifted from the cooler to separate the contents from the water, thus allowing a user to pour out excessive water from the cooler without displacing its contents. The liner provides a method to efficiently separate standing water from stored items within a cooler when utilized in conjunction with water, where the user desires to remove water from within the cooler.

1. A container liner for draining liquid therefrom and supporting solid items therein, comprising: a liner structure having upstanding sidewalls, a base surface, an upper perimeter edge, and an open interior volume forming an open, largely cuboid shape with an open upper;a pair of handles being oppositely disposed to each other and each being hingedly secured to one of said upstanding sidewalls;said base surface having a plurality of apertures disposed therealong and adapted for water drainage therethroughwherein the handles comprise inverted U-shapes;wherein the handles are embedded within their respective sidewalls when the handles are in an upstanding position and aligned with their respective sidewalls. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein said liner structure further comprises a semi-rigid material, whereby liner is adapted to be conformed to the internal volume of a larger container. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein said upstanding sidewalls of said liner structure further comprise thin, malleable material that is adapted to actively conform to the internal volume of a larger container. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein said base surface and upstanding sidewalls of said liner structure further comprise thin, malleable material that is adapted to actively conform to the internal volume of a larger container. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein said handles are hingedly attached to an exterior surface of said upstanding sidewalls. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein said pair of handles are hingedly attached to an interior surface of said upstanding sidewalls. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein said handles is are hingedly and slidably attached within a channels along their respective sidewalls. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein said handles have a cross member and distal ends that engage a slot within said channel, said channel being U-shaped and being partially disposed within said sidewall thickness to allow said handle to pivot therefrom in one direction. 9. The device of claim 7, wherein said handles are inverted U-shapes having a cross member and distal ends that engage a slot within said channel, said channel being U-shaped and disposed completely through said sidewall thickness to allow said handle to pivot therefrom in an inward or outward direction.
