Do you have to tip for each individual drink, or do you pay one tip at the end of the night?

Either way, what's the accepted tip amount for someone whose job is to pour drinks and clean glasses?

In the UK, tipping in a bar is for people who are either trying to flash their money around, or sleep with the barmaid.

I usually do one tip at the end unless I'm paying cash for whatever reason. I tip the same as other servers.

In the US it's typically a dollar per drink or 20%. If I'm buying drinks as I go I typically go the dollar route as it is much easier. If I have a tab I'll do 20% as it's probably the bigger amount.

If you want the drinks to keep coming promptly, you tip your bartender well and with each drink.
An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it.

In the US, employers have created a culture where tipping is expected and they use it as an execuse to pay people less.
This is a signature.

I tip a dollar a drink, two for big holidays. If there's food at the bar and I get it I just tip 20% of my end bill.
