FINISH UP

Dear Teachers!

1. Hey Brian! You don't have to finish the glass of wine up, you just take a sip, ok?

- Is this natural to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

It doesn't sound natural to me. Sometimes, you don't need a verb-phrase (finish up). I think this sounds more natural: Hey Brian!
