People drink caffeinated beverages in the morning because it's a stimulant, that wakes you up. People crave it because it's addictive.
You body pretty much "needs" the drug to get a "normal" waking state.

Caffeine is an incredibly addictive drug and you basically just get hooked on it. If you suddenly stop getting that caffeine, you will go into withdrawl and have terrible headaches and just feel like crap from anywhere to 2-9 days. Getting more caffeine will make you feel better, but you will still be hooked. The only practical way to get off it is to gradually decrease the amounts until it is no longer in your diet (mainly coffee or pop). Caffeine is also present in some headache medicines such as Excedrin. To answer your question, people simply get addicted and see no reason to stop.

It's a huge pick me up. Caffeine is a great stimulant if you are sleepy, but the bad thing is once the caffeine wears off, you feel sleepy again and need more. BUT IT'S SURE NICE TO HAVE THAT NICE COLD SODA IN THE MORNING! :0)

I don't crave caffeine, I just need it to stay awake.
I've seen plenty of girls crave Diet Coke though and I can't understand it. I don't think it's the caffeine in it... I can't imagine caffeine itself isn't addicting like that. Or maybe I'm just not easily addicted to things.

because it wakes you up and makes you more energetic. caffeine is stimulant so it speeds up ur central nervous system. if you are tired caffeine will make it better so people drink it in the mornings.

Caffeine is actually a mild stimulant drug, it is possible to overdose if you have the straight substance.
