A coozy, aka _coozie_ (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=coozie) 
, is an insulated holder for keeping drinks  cool (typically beer or soda). 
Usually made of neophrene, styrophome, or  other types of polymers/rubbers, a 
coozy can typically be found in the  south, often adorned by Nascar numbers, 
funny sayings, or advertisers. 
Glenn was a serious Nascar fan, and he even  had a tattered coozy with Dale 
Earnhardt Jr's number on it to prove  it.
