A portable liquid container is provided wherein an elongated, flexible container is filled with a beverage through a closable filling orifice, and the container is belted on a user using belt end fasteners, e.g. hook-and-loop material. The user grasps a nozzle on the end of an flexible, extendable straw that is stored and wound within a spring-loaded winder mechanism attached to the surface of the container. Pulling on the nozzle causes the straw to extend sufficiently to reach the user's mouth. When finished, the user allows the straw to be rewound into the winder mechanism. A collecting member with an intake positioned low within the container delivers beverage to a mating member that establishes fluid communication between the collecting member and the straw. A color-coded temperature gauge and liquid level indicator are attached to the container. An isolating member is also provided between the user and the container.
