None of the other options will instantly sober someone up.

Drinking coffee might make a person feel more alert, but it will not change the level of alcohol in their system. Taking a cold shower may make someone feel more alert, but it will also not change the level of alcohol in their system. Exercising may increase metabolism and potentially help remove some of the alcohol from the body, but it will not instantly sober someone up. Therefore, the only way to truly sober up is to give the body time for the alcohol to metabolize and leave the system. Depending on the amount of alcohol consumed, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. It is important to note that the only truly safe way to sober up is to wait for the body to metabolize the alcohol, rather than trying to speed up the process with caffeine, cold showers, or exercise.
