You tip a dollar on a draft beer (or even a can) because while the barkeep was helping you they couldn't help anyone else.
People's time is valuable.

Exactly, there's a lot of tipping out to do. That's why civilized people tip 20%.

I don't drink so can't comment on that, but I tip 20 % on dining in, 10% on take out, and will often but not always tip 1 dollar on a coffee drink.

$7 is ok if your bill is never more than $35. Otherwise, you are pretty much an asshole.

You're a cheap jerk. This is not how polite people behave in the US.
Happy now?

20%.
How the heck did you decide on $7, OP? You should be embarrassed.

You shouldn't be going to eat in restaurants. For a beer, the minimum tip is $1. Tonight I had a $10 drink and I tipped $2.
A $7 tip is fine for a $35 meal, but on a $100 meal, you shouldn't show your face in that restaurant again.

If you can't afford to tip you can afford takeout/eat out.

I tip well, especially if they are very attentive. At least 20% always. More if they are great.
