Newbie drawer question

Please forgive me if this has been asked and answered already, but can you
make drawers joined with dovetails or finger joints out of birch plywood?

Thanks

Glue is tough on the cutters, and thin peeled veneers need special care to
protect from tearout, otherwise void-free ply works great. A more forgiving
but equally effective choice would be a drawer lock bit.

I second this post...tearout is a issue you need to deal with, backer
waste board is a must.
