Don't know how you say polyvinyl acetate in Danish but thats what Titebond and Elmers are here, if you don't have those brands. PVA is the most common woodworkers glue by far.

Epoxy is thick and won't allow as thight a fit. Afetr glue-up run a bead of glue or caulk on the interior corners if you're concerned about leakage, i.e., cabinet "Q".

The key issues with drilling holes and using screws are 2:
1. Filling the holes and then leveling the filler so it doesn't show through the finish as a raised spot. You won't beleive how what you think is level shows through.

2. The torque of the turning drill bit wants to run the panels apart. Use at least one good clamp to hold the panels tightly as you drill. Use only coarse thread wood glues, not fine thread metal stud drywall screws.

I'm excited to hear that you're ready to start and look forward to the results.
