Many studies confirming that drinking coffee seems correlated to not getting Psc (as well as being helpful for some other liver related conditions and cancers).

In addition, coffee consumption may increase survival post-transplant.” [http://www.healio.com/hepatology/liver-injury-regeneration/news/online/{037eb7e7-fd63-4a9f-902d-179616b23cc5}/coffee-delays-liver-diseas…](http://www.healio.com/hepatology/liver-injury-regeneration/news/online/%7B037eb7e7-fd63-4a9f-902d-179616b23cc5%7D/coffee-delays-liver-disease-progression-extends-survival-post-lt)

Some studies:

Coffee consumption protects against progression in liver cirrhosis and increases long-term survival after liver transplantation.
