alcophiliac 

One that enjoys the consumption and effects of grandiose amounts of alcohol, but still leads a successful, functional, and happy life, and does not exhibit the dependant characteristics of an alcoholic.
Cecile can outdrink all her friends, and loves the taste of alcohol. She is frequently found partying her ass off while wasted, but knows when to stay sober and get down to business. She is an alcophiliac.

Apocophilia 

An attraction to, or taking pleasure in, end-of-society scenarios, such as global nuclear war, or worst-case peak-oil or global-warming.

Often leads to what others would regard as a 'pessimistic' world view, however Apocophiliacs often identify with an 'up-side' to the total destruction of mostly everything. Proof of irrationality can often be found in a belief that they will survive the impending apocolyse themselves.
I used to hang at peakoil.com, but the place is swamped with apocophilic doomers.

I'm really worried about global warming, but sometimes I worry that I might just have a tendency for apocophilia.

Aerophilia

When you love airplanes, you know sitting in an airplane and just looking down on the world. Or maybe even flying one.
Oh man, I cant wait to take off!
Why is it so exciting?
I dont know, I just kind of get "aroused" while high up.
Pretty sure you have aerophilia.
(Oh and btw, a fun thing you can do on google is take a phobia, for example emetophobia, and replace the phobia with philia, then you can find some weird fetishes...)
