1. A portable container holder operable to receive a handheld drink container, said portable container holder comprising: a support structure operable to support the portable container holder while being transported,a flexible sleeve presenting an elongated opening to slidably receive the drink container and defining a sleeve axis along which the drink container slides into and out of the sleeve,said support structure including a unitary base wall that extends along the length of the sleeve and is operable to be secured relative to a wearer;said sleeve defining a cross-sectional opening dimension transverse to the sleeve axis,said flexible sleeve including a unitary panel with a back wall portion and side wall portions on opposite sides of the back wall portion, wherein the back wall portion is attached to the base wall and the side wall portions project away from the base wall to wrap around the opening so that the sleeve is operable to grasp the drink container,said flexible sleeve including a flexible front wall that interconnects the side wall portions, with the front wall being shiftable to permit the side wall portions to be moved toward and away from one another to adjust the size of the cross-sectional dimension,said side wall portions presenting a pair of side margins that extend along the sleeve axis; anda sleeve connector that removably interconnects the side wall portions to position the side margins adjacent to one another,said sleeve defining a sleeve height along the sleeve axis,said back wall portion spaced from the side margins and extending along the sleeve axis, with the back wall portion and the base wall being attached to one another along substantially the entire sleeve height. 2. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 1, said sleeve connector including an elastic member that is stretchable to permit limited lateral movement of the side margins away from one another. 3. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 1, said sleeve presenting an interior surface that at least partly defines the elongated opening, with the front wall being attached to the interior surface of each side wall. 4. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 3, said front wall presenting opposite side edges and part of the interior surface extending between the side edges,said side edges of the front wall being attached to respective side walls so that the interior surface of the front wall along the side edges faces the interior surface of the side margins. 5. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 4, said side edges of the front wall being attached adjacent to the side margins of the side walls. 6. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 4, said sleeve presenting a lowermost margin, with the side walls being secured relative to one another adjacent the lowermost margin to close a lowermost end of the opening. 7. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 1, said sleeve presenting a lowermost margin, with the side walls being secured to the back wall portion adjacent the lowermost margin to close a lowermost end of the opening. 8. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 1, said support structure including an elongated strap secured to the base wall and operable to be secured on a wearer. 9. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 1, said sleeve defining an opening length along which the drink container slides into and out of the sleeve,said sleeve being adjustably attached to the support structure, with at least part of the sleeve being collapsible along the sleeve axis to reduce the size of the opening length. 10. A portable container holder operable to receive a handheld drink container, said portable container holder comprising: a support structure operable to support the portable container holder while being transported; anda flexible sleeve including opposite side walls that cooperatively present an elongated opening to slidably receive the drink container,said sleeve defining a sleeve axis along which the drink container slides into and out of the sleeve and forming an opening length measured along the sleeve axis,said sleeve being adjustably attached to the support structure, with at least part of the sleeve being axially foldable along the sleeve axis to reduce the size of the opening length,said sleeve being adjustable between an unfolded condition where the sleeve presents an unfolded sleeve length that defines the opening length and a folded condition where at least a portion of the sleeve is folded axially onto another portion of the sleeve to reduce the opening length from the unfolded condition,a first pair of connectors mounted on the base wall and the sleeve to removably interconnect the base wall and the sleeve in the unfolded condition; anda second pair of connectors mounted on the base wall and the sleeve and spaced below the first pair of connectors to removably interconnect the base wall and the sleeve in the folded condition. 11. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 10, said support structure including a base wall that extends along the length of the sleeve and supports the sleeve,said side walls cooperatively presenting upper and lower portions of the sleeve, with the lower portion being fixed to the base wall and the upper portion being removably attached to the base wall,said upper portion being foldable from the unfolded condition toward the lower portion to reduce the opening length. 12. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 11, said sleeve including a back wall interconnecting the side walls and extending alongside the base wall, with the connectors associated with the sleeve being attached to the back wall. 13. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 11, said support structure including an elongated strap secured to the base wall and operable to be secured on a wearer. 14. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 10, said side walls presenting a pair of side margins that extend along the sleeve axis; anda sleeve connector that removably interconnects the side walls to position the side margins adjacent to one another. 15. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 14, said sleeve connector including an elastic member that is stretchable to permit limited lateral movement of the side margins away from one another. 16. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 14, said flexible sleeve including a flexible front wall that interconnects the side walls, with the front wall cooperating with the side walls to present the elongated opening,said sleeve presenting an interior surface that at least partly defines the elongated opening, with the front wall being attached to the interior surface of each side wall. 17. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 16, said front wall presenting opposite side edges and part of the interior surface extending between the side edges,said side edges of the front wall being attached to respective side walls so that the interior surface of the front wall along the side edges faces the interior surface of the side margins. 18. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 17, said side edges of the front wall being attached adjacent to the side margins of the side walls. 19. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 17, said sleeve presenting a lowermost margin, with the side walls being secured relative to one another adjacent the lowermost margin to close a lowermost end of the opening. 20. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 1, said base wall being attached to the back wall portion along both sides of the back wall portion. 21. The portable container holder as claimed in claim 20, said base wall extending from one of the sides of the back wall portion to the other side of the back wall portion.
