As a kid we lived on an island and burned a lot of our garbage in drums like that. Dad only made a few holes in the side, only a few inches up from the bottom. I don't think you want holes in the very bottom, ash and hot coals will fall through. Too much air and your fire will be extremely hot. You may want to be able to allow collected rain water to drain.
