Anger can feel good for a moment, righteous and awake and clear. That warm rush is exactly why it is hard to interrupt at the only point where interrupting works.

What the research says

In a laboratory study of 516 social drinkers, alcohol increased aggression mainly among those who dwelt on the provocation, which suggests the dwelling is the bridge between feeling something and lashing out. In four other experiments, briefly writing about a core personal value restored self-control in people whose willpower had just been taxed. Both are lab studies with student and volunteer samples, so read them as a hint about direction, not a recipe.

Strength of evidence: one line of research. A single study, or a theoretical account.
