People made their own liquors and smuggled them around in boots (hence the term bootlegger) and also drove in fast cars that can carry lots of this alcohol to different places while avoiding the police (this was the roots of NASCAR) and people went into hidden illegal bars called speakeasies. Nowadays, speakeasies, bars, and alcohol were no longer illegal, but the trend still continues that the owners try to keep them hidden to a certain degree.

A smuggler of alcohol during prohibition
During Prohibition in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, millions of people continued to consume alcohol despite its illegal status. Estimates suggest that about 60% of American adults drank alcohol during this period. Illegal production and distribution of alcohol flourished, with speakeasies and bootlegging becoming widespread. This widespread disregard for the law ultimately contributed to the end of Prohibition in 1933.
