Hi, all. I'm writing a screenplay.
Context: Two friends sit talking and drinking beers.
The sentence: Susan gives Tara a look, then drinks.
Question: Is it OK or awkward to just write "then drinks" instead of eg. "then takes a sip/swig of her beer" or something else if it's already been established in the scene description that Susan and Tara are drinking beers?
then drinks is fine.
