How where bootleggers able to sell alcohol in many cites?

Bootleggers were able to sell alcohol during Prohibition by operating illegal distilleries and speakeasies, often using secretive methods to evade law enforcement. They relied on a network of suppliers, corrupt officials, and organized crime to facilitate the distribution of their products. Additionally, they employed tactics like coded language and hidden compartments to transport and sell alcohol discreetly. The high demand for alcohol during this period also provided a lucrative market for their illicit operations.
