Methadone is a very powerful drug and the chance of significant side effects including the likelihood of death are increased when combined with alcohol.
Additionally, many methadone clinics require their patients to sign treatment contracts which require the patient to promise not to use or abuse other substances while being treated. It is possible to detect alcohol use during the frequent drug testing that should be occurring as part of the treatment regimen. So it is likely your best bet to lay off the alcohol until your treatment is complete, maybe longer if you are struggling with addictions.
