Default I'm lefty, wanna play with righty guitar?

I have played drums for about 8 years or so, and not to brag (but gotten pretty good), i am just tired of the inconvenience of them. I have a acoustic guitar at my house, but its the normal kind for right handed people. Is it ok to learn holding it the other way, with highest string facing up?

Basically can i play i right handed guitar on left.? Or will that mess everything up?

I really want to learn, i just dont want to have to spend money on another guitar.
