Finishes milk drink (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uses up

'finishes' is the definition.

'milk drink' is the wordplay.
'milk' becomes 'use' (I've seen this in other clues).
'drink' becomes 'sup' (I've seen this before).
'use'+'sup'='USES UP'

(Other definitions for uses up that I've seen before include "Consumes" , "'Depletes (4,2)'" , "Exhausts" , "drains" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
