Yes, Alcohols hydrogen bond - just not as well as water since there are
so many other atoms to get in the way of the alcoholic hydrogen
reaching the oxygen. Methanol is a liquid at room temperature even
though its molecular weight is 32 g/mole, which is still pretty small
for a liquid. H2S is 34 g/mole and is quite obviously a gas at room
temp.
