There was almost no end to their ingenuity. They hid alcohol in their clothing, in caskets, in hidden compartments in their cars, and in almost every other conceivable place.
a speakeasy
In the 1920s, during prohibition, alcohol was illegal in the United States. the Mafia (many in Chicago) would make money by sneaking alcohol into the states from Canada and selling it. Often, they would hide bottles of alcohol in empty caskets and transport them over the border in hearses.
The speakeasy was created to hide the fact that it served liquor. After prohibition, drinking alcohol was illegal, but many people still liked to do it. So they went to clubs that seemed to be following the law, but in reality had secret rooms where people went to drink and socialize.
The 21st Amendment ended prohibition. This, first of all, gave the people greater legal freedoms. Second, many people had still made and sold liquor during prohibition, but after the 21st Amendment they did not have to hide from the law anymore.
During the 'prohibition' era in the US they were called speak easies. One theory is that the term came from one's manner of ordering alcohol during the Prohibition era - they would be told to order quietly and "speak easy." Secret doors with sliding peepholes. Hide away lounges hidden with in or in back of different businesses.

Is people that used their boots to hide the illegal alcohol being brought to other people.
All you do is hide the alcohol and car keys. :P
They didn't hide.
There is an urban myth that during American Prohibition producers of illegal spirits would hide the bottles inside boots. This seems very unlikely (how obvious would that be)? But it is the story people regularly give for the origin of this phrase.
Because of Prohibition, people were not allowed to drink but still they did anyway so they developed speakeasies as a way to hide the fact that they were selling illegal beverages.
