Bootleggers was a term commonly used in the prohibition era of American History. During prohibition bootleggers illegally transported and stored alcohol for commercial use and private sale.

However, there are still bootleggers today. In areas that are not "wet," meaning the sale of alcohol is prohibited (illegal,) a bootlegger is one who privately sells liquor and beer to "customers" who do not want to drive to "wet" areas to obtain alcohol. The bootleggers charge a higher price and profit from their sales.
