Had to look up what the CDC considers a standard drink and moderate-intensity physical activity:
In the United States, a standard drink has 0.6 ounces (14 grams) of pure alcohol. The amount of pure alcohol in each drink depends on the alcohol content, or percent of alcohol by volume (ABV). One standard drink is equivalent to:
Moderate-intensity physical activity:
The talk test is a simple way to measure relative intensity. In general, if you’re doing moderate-intensity activity, you can talk but not sing during the activity.
So yeah, I'm definitely behind on fruit/vegetables and physical activity, but I more or less meet their recommendations for alcohol and smoking. It's something!

If it's an alternative for you, I can recommend bicycle commuting as a fairly easy means of adding everyday moderate exercise. Despite the risk of car drivers attacking you with their vehicle, it's healthy enough to be linked with a 47% reduction in all-cause mortality (source).
Unfortunately, I don't have a commute. I do all my grocery shopping on foot, though, so it could be worse.
