Beer for health?

Scientists recommend drinking 120 gallons of beer per day? They say that amount (of low hop content domestic beer, I suppose) is required to supply an effective dose of xantohumol.

It seems that possible negative effects/reactions of xantohumol are unknown at this time. I suppose that the fact that "it strengthens the immune system" could mean an increased risk of auto-immune diseases. The ancient adage of "Nothing to excess" should be kept in mind.
