During the Prohibition of alcohol in the United States of America between 1920 and 1933, Izzy Einstein was a successful Prohibition agent. He told the truth about who he was as soon as he walked into a speakeasy. But the owners and drinkers thought he was joking and welcomed him in with roaring laughter because they didn't think someone could be so stupid. His thoughts and methods for collecting evidence included storing the drink in a tube which was placed in his top pocket.

The alcohol made was horrible, and was much more illegal than drinking it. It was not known how much alcohol brewers put into the moonshine, therefore making it highly dangerous. Many stills were seized between 1921 and 1930. It was not clear whether this increase was a result of the success of prohibition or the increased number of speakeasies found out and the number of stills operating.
