Alcohols are acidic in nature because hydrogen is attached to oxygen which is an electronegative element. Alcohol is weaker acid than water because OH^(-) ion is more stable than R-O^(-) ion. R-O^(-) is less stable, due to +I effect of the alkyl group. Acidity of alcohols increases with increase in the stability of acid anion. Some alcohol like CH_(3)-OH, CF_(3)-CH_(2)-OH, (CF_(3))_(3)C-OH ae more acidic than water.
