Because of its water-excretion properties. Doesn't this contradict the whole point?

I don't drink either, but not because of the caffiene, but rather the carbonation.
I would have to say that most people that drink it to quench thirst, probably do so because the advertising gurus tell them that it "quenches thirst", just like all of the other BS nonsense that comes out of their mouths. When it is all said and done, however, I would say that people drink it either FOR the caffeine, and/or because they like the taste, and as another poster mentioned, because of the pyshological addiction. But I also guarantee you that many of these same people do believe, somewhere in the back of their mind, that they are quenching their thirst, because that is what they were told. (No disrespect to anyone, but there are a lot of simple people running around on this earth).
For a thirst-quencher, they need to try gator-ade, SunnyD, or something like that, or just good, plain, old-fashioned, water.
JMHO!

People usually aren't educated on the health side of drinks, and think that if it's a soda the only bad thing about it is it has caffeine and it will "quench" their thirst. Mass marketing of the products also help us to believe this.

It's about taste. Unfortunately there are many liquids people enjoy which are diuretics...
alcohol
caffiene (sodas, tea, etc)
apple juice
etc.

If you are thirsty you may as well drink something you enjoy and that picks you up. If you excrete it you can always drink another - they will can more of them.
