Abstract
A bag for carrying liquid containers and other goods within the bag. The bag has a bottom panel and a plurality of side panels attached to the bottom panel such that the side panels in combination with the bottom panel define an interior space of the bag. A retaining strap is securely positioned within the interior space adjacent to one of the side panels. At least a portion of the retaining strap is spaced apart from one of the side panels to define a cotainer-receiving space therebetween. The retaining strap is sized to retain a selected container within the container-receiving space, and the remainder of the interior space is sized to simultaneously carry selected other goods therein when the selected container is retained within the container-receiving space.

A bag for carrying a selected container, comprising:
- a bottom panel;
- a pair of opposing first and second side panels attached to the bottom panel;
- a pair of opposing first and second end panels attached to the bottom panel and to the side panels, the bottom panel, the side panels, and the end panels in combination defining an interior space of the bag;
- and
- a retaining strap securely positioned within the interior space adjacent to the opposing first and second side panels and the first end panel, the retaining strap being sized to retain the container in a selected position in the interior space of the bag between the retaining strap and the first end panel, the retaining strap being formed by first and second cuts in the first end panel to separate the retaining strap from a remaining portion of the first end panel, the first and second cuts each having a first cut portion extending a first direction and having a stop cut portion connected to the first cut portion, the stop cut portion extending in a second direction that is different than the first direction and positioned to prevent the first cut portion from extending past the stop cut portion.
