Default E-Brake

Say I was to go to a deserted parking lot after a snow, or rain- Besides wear to my tires, what could be damaged to the car if I was to pull the E-Brake to have some fun? (Yes, noobish eclipse drifting )

2001 Eclipse RS

I was told that it could ruin the brakes. To make matters worse, I still have the stock rear drum brakes. Any input would be valued, thanks.

I could get a 4G63 Turbo VR4 Engine for less than 2 grand, with >50k miles... I may be a noob at this forum, but not in general. However, correct me if I am wrong: using the E-Brake puts strain on the engine, and from using it too much it could eventually "kill" it- correct?
