DESCRIPTION:

Bootleggers are smugglers, sometimes distillers, who bring in alcoholic beverages where they are either taxed or prohibited. National Bootlegger's Day marks two distinct anniversaries on January 17th.

The birthday of bootlegger Al Capone: January 17, 1899
18th Amendment (Prohibition) goes into effect: January 17, 1920

The term 'bootlegger' refers to the flask smugglers used to hide in the top of their boots. In the age of the Old West, it was typically done to smuggle liquor to native Americans. With the advent of prohibition in the 1920s, it took on a whole new meaning.
