If the dew point is favorable at least, then drinking Hot Coffee and let myself sweat in front of an Electric Fan. If it is very humid, Ice on neck or taking a cold shower.
If I had to go outside or Air conditioning at the office broke, then I'd wear light clothing where sweat is easier to evaporate
Otherwise, I'd just use air conditioning and eat up the electricity cost, fuck this weather.
Drinking hot liquids is the last thing you should be doing if you are trying to cool yourself down.
If you are looking to evaporation to cool you then splashing some water on you and sitting in front of the fan is a better idea.
The principle is to heat up the body in order to signal it to sweat.
My point is you can do that without heating up your body since the goal is to cool you down.
