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.
