Einstein again

We have all these Einstein experts here so I would like to get some
feednack on a story I heard years ago. I don't remember but think I
heard this on a television show. Anyway, they said Einstein was a
nickname which he got because he was not much of a drinking man.
He'd go to the Beer Gardens in Bavaria and after one stein he'd be
done for the evening. One Stein in German is Ein Stein, so everyone
started calling him Einstein. If he'd had three beers instead of
just one they would have called him Drei Stein.
The people who put on the show seemed to know so much about Einstein
(or however many steins it was) that I hoped they would say something
about THE SECRET DOCTRINE as well, but there was nothing about
Theosophy in the show.
My personal suspicion is that he did not tipple at all and that his
real ame was NeinStein.
Does anyone know?
