Yes. Methadone is a Narcotic (similar to Morphine). I am assuming he/she was going for pain killers? Narcotics and alcohol are a VERY dangerous combination. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with methadone. And 4 pills (depending on body weight) can be a huge overdose. It can cause respiratory depression; if someone took a big enough dose, they could stop breathing. To be on the safe side you should take your friend to the hospital. And try your best to keep them conscience on the way there.
