Hydroxyl group (-OH) A hydroxyl group is a functional group that an oxygen atom connected by a hydrogen atom, we can see it as a substructure of the water molecule. When it appears, it has a properties of reactive and interactive. -OH looks like the hydroxide ion of water (OH-, associated with ionizability)The neutral form of the hydroxyl group is a hydroxyl radical.

Properties of alcohols: hydrogen bonding
A strong dipole-dipole force between a hydrogen atom attached to a highly electron-negative atom(N,O,or F) in one molecule and a highly electron-negative atom in another molecule.
Alcohols typically have much higher boiling points than the corresponding substituted alkanes. For example, the boiling point of methanol is 65℃ while the boiling point of methane is -162℃.
