Chemically, the major difference between phenol and alcohol is that phenol is a hydroxyl unit attached to a benzene ring and alcohol has a hydroxyl unit attached to a carbon chain.

More generally the major difference is that swallowing a small amount of phenol can kill you. Swallowing a small amount of alcohol (ethanol) may give you a buzz, but you would have to drink a great deal for it to kill you quickly.
