National Bootlegger's Day, celebrated on January 17, remembers a time in American history when alcohol was illegal. During the 1920s and early 1930s, known as Prohibition, people who secretly made, sold, or transported alcohol were called bootleggers. They hid bottles in their boots or cars to avoid getting caught. This day honors both the cleverness of these people and how the country's laws eventually changed to make alcohol legal again. It's a day to learn about this unique part of history and understand how rules can change over time.
