Abstract: 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.
