Abstract We thank Benjamin Taylor and Jurgen Rehm (2005) for their useful comments on our paper (Alati et al. 2005). Contrary to their concluding remarks we would contend that our paper, as well as their comments, do make a useful contribution to this area of research. Clearly, the same people are responsible both for the J-shaped curve at 5 years and the linear curve at 14 years because it is the same cohort at both stages of the follow-up. We conclude that the association between alcohol consumption and depressive and anxiety symptoms may vary by life stage (Alati et al. 2005).
