I'm not sure if this counts?
And I'm a bad bad man.

Often while in clubs, I retain my pint glass after finishing my beverage. I then put my pint under the nearest unsupervised tap, fill it up, then walk away with a free pint.

At the prices they charge I think it should be assumed its 2 for 1.

And no I haven't been caught *yet*

I used to work as a barman in a student bar.
Someone would try this at least once a week.

I would do my best to break their arms.

To elaborate
They obviously don't have the "Drunken Skillz" like I do.

To be fair the staff in said club wouldn't be applying for mensa any time soon.

I only do this at home, not at uni!

Cleaning
Went to a pub that had 2 rooms, and a bar in each. We were in the back room, the other patrons were in the front room merrily getting served. Mate decides that, seeing as no bar staff were at our bar, he wants a free pint.

And so he leans over the bar and does the dutiful.

First thing he noticed was the head was a bit frothy, then upon drinking it he discovered that the pint was mostly cleaning fluid.

At that point, the bar staff came through and laughed at him, having seen him pour his pint.

Good times

In the future, when QOTW is "Have You Ever Had A Ferocious Kicking Off A Neanderthal Doorman And His Chums?", sooner or later you are going to end up with a winning story to tell (if you regain consciousness).

As for staff laughing about beer-line cleaner, they obviously weren't aware it's highly dangerous, and pretty guaranteed to kill you if you take a slug of it (Which is why we clean pipes with it, then drink stuff we put through those very same pipes afterwards. No, it beats me too.)

After cleaning the beer lines
You wash them through with lots of water - or you should anyway - and then wash the water through by pumping beer through until you get pure beer.
