Celebs With The Most Ridiculous Daily Routines

The late Hunter S. Thompson was an iconic writer who lived life in a "gonzo" style similar to that depicted in his works, such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. According to E. Jean Carroll's biography, Hunter: The Strange and Savage Life of Hunter S. Thompson (via Boss Hunting), the man kept a meticulous schedule of drug-taking and writing. 

Something of a night owl, Thompson greeted the day at 3 p.m. — and with some blended scotch whiskey and cigarettes, as he read his favorite daily newspapers. Just before four, he'd take his first dose of cocaine, followed by another scotch, a cup of coffee, cocaine, and then a glass of orange juice. Between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., Thompson administered cocaine three or four more times, along with some cigarettes, coffee, and scotch, only to smoke some marijuana "to take the edge off the day." Around 7 p.m., he'd head to his favorite bar in his hometown of Aspen, Colo., the Woody Creek Tavern, for a large meal that included a taco salad, coleslaw, onion rings, a fritter, carrot cake, ice cream, margaritas, beer, and scotch. 

Back home by nine, Thompson would help himself to more cocaine, acid, alcohol, and marijuana, and was "ready to write" by midnight. Then he'd work all night, bolstering himself with more drugs, booze, coffee, and a grapefruit. At daybreak, he'd cool down with champagne, ice cream bars, and fettuccine alfredo, before going to bed just after 8 a.m. with the assistance of sleeping pills.
