<p>I commend the authors for their responsiveness to the reviewer feedback. All of my concerns have been addressed in this revised submission, and I believe this manuscript will make a nice contribution to the literature. I only indicate a few suggestions:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>For early adulthood the age range seems to be 25-30 (not 35-30)</li>
</ul>
<p>Age groups were classified according to the country’s illegal age of purchase and consumption (under 18 years), age until alcohol sensitive brain regions develop (24 years), early adulthood (25-30 years), adulthood (31-60 years), and elderly (more than 60 years)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Please, consider the following suggestion to present the results:</li>
</ul>
<p>We observed medium size effects in quantity [H(df)=50.30(1), p=.001, Cohen’s d=.26] and small in frequency [H(df)=8.43(1), p=.004, Cohen’s d=.10] and HED [H(df)=94.34(1), p=.001, Cohen’s d=.36].</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The criteria for the age groups says:</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;“under 18 years [the country’s illegal age of purchase and consumption]”; however, Table 2 shows that the youngest age group includes participants aged 18 (who are legally allowed to buy alcohol). I do not suggest to re-run the analyses but it should be acknowledged that this age group also includes participants that can have legal access to alcohol.</p>
