I quit alcohol more than two years ago. Nowadays when I'm offered a free drink because I'm kilted I'm happy to accept an orange juice or a coffee.

I've been offered quite a few times while I was living in Chico. It's a small college town, and usually it would be by the ladies or drunken guys who were just fascinated with the idea of someone wearing a kilt.

Strangely enough, I am offered more meals than drinks.

Don't much get out to pubs anymore. This year I did go out on the evening of St. Paddy's day with my son and a couple of his fellow Marines. My son and myself, along with a couple of the others were kilted, but I suspect the free beer had more to do with my pipes, and the Marines than the kilts.
At the last bar we were in there was a photographer set up to take pictures of anyone who cared to buy a shot memorializing their St. Paddy's day festivities (in case they celebrated too hard, I guess). He approached me with the offer that he would pay me $1 for everyone I brought over to have their picture taken with the piper. I told him that anyone who wished to have a picture taken with me was welcome to do so, but I wasn't going to shill for his operation. With the prevalence of picture phones, and digital cameras these days, I don't imagine he got many takers.
All skill and effort is to no avail when an angel pees down your drones.

So far no one has offered to buy me beer for being in a kilt and that's simply because I don't go to pubs or clubs that much. But if it happens I'll let y'all know about it!
