The answer is you can do it. But unless you like throwing down a ton of money on performance tires ($800 I had to two weeks ago) I wouldn't advise it.
Sure maybe a corner here and there, but anything you do to the car will shorten it's life. This is definitely not good for it. Clutch and tires esp will feel the impact.

you'll crash, your insurance will go up, and it will hurt your wallet.

Drifting is a very unnatural thing for any car to do. Its easier to do in some cars (RWD for instance) but no car is 'meant' to drift. Drifting is a form of racing. And like racing, it will hurt your car eventually and break your weakest link. Whether its your clutch, your transmission, your engine, etc. And be prepared for your maintenance bills to double at minimum (brake bads, tires, gas, coolant, etc, etc). Racing costs a lot of money. If you don't have it, don't do it.
