Best Answer

Phenol is more acidic than alcohols since the negative charge that is acquired by removal of a hydrogen atom can be delocalised into the molecules ring structure. acyclic alcohols cannot "spread" this charge as well as conjugated systems and thus will less readily lose their hydrogen atom.
