MOONSHINE AND BOOTLEGGING

In spite of the ratification of the 18th Amendment, people still found a way to get thier precious alcohol.  Whether it was making it in their own bathtubs or even stashing it somewhere in their clothing.  Manufacturing companies even made special garments designed for both smuggling and partying.  Heels in some special boots could accomodate a full shot of whiskey!

"Los Angeles bootleggers managed to hide 70 cases of scotch behind the camoflaged access door of lumber trucks." (Orkent 28)

Here, a woman is "bootlegging"...exactly what it sounds like.  These methods show that no matter what laws were passed, alcohol would always be present.
