Who's bed have your boots been under?

Does the Calgary Stampede bring families together, or split them up?

A new report finds phone calls to divorce lawyers go up by about 30 per cent in the days following the Stampede.

Karen Stewart who the media has dubbed a divorce guru tells 660News the reason is simple:  too much alcohol mixed with too much eye candy leads to increased temptation.

"It's the one time of the year where we can really let loose," says Stewart.  "I think a lot of people spend the tough winter thinking, and looking forward to, letting it loose in Stampede.  The skirts are just getting higher and higher and the boots are getting lower and lower.  It's just a very flirtatious environment."

"What goes up after Stampede is the decision to divorce," adds Stewart. "So we're tracking stats that" (are) "based on statistics from the government.  But the phone calls go up after Stampede with regards to divorce."

Stewart says to ensure your spouse avoids making a "mistake," go with them to Stampede.

The report doesn't mention whether men or women are more likely to stray during the steamy days of Stampede.
