Hunter S. Thompson Daily Routine — An Odd Way of Life
Hunter S. Thompson — “The Gonzo Journalist” — had one of the craziest daily routines.
Mark Wahlberg wakes up at 3.30 AM to exercise and take care of his health. Early rising is a great habit, isn’t it? But what about waking up at 3 o’clock in the afternoon?
What about starting a day with a glass Chivas Regal? Can it get any more unusual than this? “Gonzo Journalist” Hunter S. Thompson did exactly that with his days.
In her book Hunter: The Strange and Savage Life of Hunter S. Thompson, biographer E. Jean Carroll shared a detailed account of what Hunter did throughout his day. Let’s have a look at what Carroll reported as Hunter’s daily routing — a day that starts at 3 PM (Not AM).
