Response to "Is there room for attentional impairments in binge drinking? A commentary on Carbia et al. (2018)."

[Excerpt] We would like to thank Lannoy et al. (2019) for their interest in
expanding and discussing some points of our systematic review of
neuropsychological studies in binge drinkers (BDs) (Carbia et al.,
2018b). While we appreciate the commentators’ interest in our work, it
raises issues that warrant clarification. First, the authors argue that our
conclusion regarding the apparent absence of attentional impairments
in BDs is premature. This argument is based principally on the statement that our review failed to identify neuropsychological studies that
reflected attentional difficulties, in particular Lannoy et al. (2017)
(published after the completion of our literature search), Sánchez-Roige
et al. (2014) and Scaife and Duka (2009). However, these last two articles were indeed included and extensively discussed in our manuscript.
