A hydrogen atom can form a maximum of one covalent bond.
In an alcohol molecule, there are usually two types of chemical bonds - covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen, and hydrogen bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Each carbon atom forms a single covalent bond with the oxygen atom, while the hydrogen atoms form single covalent bonds with the oxygen atom.
Ammonia is a nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. There is a total of three covalent bonds (one for each hydrogen).
Arsenic typically forms three covalent bonds with hydrogen.
Hydrogen: 1 Oxygen: 2 Nitrogen:3 Carbon: 4

Hydrogen forms three covalent bonds in electrically neutral compounds.
Hydrogen forms three covalent bonds in electrically neutral compounds.
Hydrogen forms one covalent bond in electrically neutral compounds.
Covalent bonds are formed when the electrons in atoms' outer shells are shared. An atom can generally only form as many covalent bonds as is has electrons in its outermost shell. Hydrogen only has one electron in its outermost shell, thus hydrogen can only form one covalent bond.

Hydrogen usually forms one covalent bond. It has one electron that it can share with another atom to complete its valence shell and achieve stability.
