Methane gives off more heat. Burning something is an oxidation reaction. Energy is released by forming more and more bonds between carbon and oxygen. Since methyl alcohol already has a C-O bond, it is already more oxidized than methane, so burning methyl alcohol releases less energy (heat) than burning methane (mole for mole).
