Bit of an oddity in the UK I would have thought. I don't think, in pubs* anyway, that they run a tab up for me or on offer. Is it for all or a local thing? Quite common abroad I found, especially the US.
* unless I'm staying there, well apart from the other month I stopped over in a place in Bedfordshire and they looked at me like I had two heads when I asked to put it on the room bill.
