The "alpha" is a star's nomenclature means it's (usually) the brightest star in its constellation. Even if the constellations are apparently close, the stars could be any distance, since the constellation is only the two-dimensional "window" and doesn't tell us anything about the depth of the starfield.

However, Alpha Sagittarii is about 180 light years from Earth. Since this is much further away than Alpha Centauri, we can more or less ignore the 4 light year distance between Earth and Alpha Centauri and say that Alpha Sagittarii is also about 180 light years from Alpha Centauri as well.
