Well you have to consider how many it can "donate" and how many it can "accept". According to wikipedia water can form four. So considering methanol, the delta positive hydrogen can from one H-bond and the the two lone pairs on the oxygen can form one each. So it can form three hydrogen bonds.

Don't worry about the hydrogens on the carbon they don't take part.
