Based on what I know, Seumas still having possession of alcohol would count as illegal. That said, how strictly the law was enforced could get hazy, and in some cities, the speakeasies weren't hidden in the slightest. There's also the tale of a federal agent who asked a taxi driver where he could get booze, and the driver immediately handed him a bottle.

Prohibition was fun, I tell you.

Yeah, plus all the low paid police officers could be paid off to look the other way. 
Which gave rise to mobsters and we all know the rest. (pew pew pew)
