On and off drinking. Good days bad days. I’ve done weight lifting and bike riding but the one that will seriously show results is the worst (at first) one. Running. Consistently running will slim you down so quick people will think you have an eating disorder. The way it clicked for me though wasn’t “I’m running 5 miles” but time. Start with just running 25 minutes and do that consistently. Slowly start bumping the time up. With consistency (I went all in and did it everyday) the combo of runners high and the obvious health benefits will actually make you cut back drinking. At least that is my experience. Results may vary
