   Something stuck to me thirty years ago, when I read it in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:

   I tend to sweat heavily in warm climates. My clothes are soaking wet from dawn to dusk. This worried at first, but when I went to a doctor and described my normal daily intake of booze, drugs and poison, he told me to come back when the sweating stopped. That would be the danger point, he said – a sign that my body’s desperately overworked flushing mechanism had broken down completely. “I have great faith in the natural processes,” he said. “But in your case . . . well . . . I find no precedent. We’ll just have to wait and see, then work with what’s left.”

   I’ve certainly never disowned my own sweating since….
