Although there is no interaction, combining them is not a very good idea as the side effects of alcohol and this corticosteroid are similar therefore mixing them can potentiate both side effects of alcohol and this medication.
Now having one glass of wine or one beer should be fine but I suggest you run it by your doctor first.

"What to avoid
Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Call your doctor for preventive treatment if you are exposed to chicken pox or measles. These conditions can be serious or even fatal in people who are using steroid medication.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while using methylprednisolone. The vaccine may not work as well during this time, and may not fully protect you from disease. Live vaccines include measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), polio, rotavirus, oral typhoid, yellow fever, varicella (chickenpox), and nasal flu (influenza) vaccine."
