It depends on what it is derived from.

If it is formed from alkenes or olefins, it will be unstaurated alcohol. Alkanes form saturated alcohols.

Saturated alcohol means that alcohol which contains neither triple nor double bond. It's just one σ (Sigma) bond.

They're all unsaturated:Ethene,Bupene,Propene ect and its because of a carbon double bond which looks like this C=C

Are unsaturated fats solid?

Unsaturated fats are generally not solid. They are often found in plant oils. Saturated fats, on the other hand, are solid because they have the maximum number of hydrogens bonded. They are generally found in animal fats. One way of explaining why saturated fats are solid is that because they have the maximum number of hydrogens bonded, they tend to be linear molecules. On the other hand, unsaturated fats have one of more double bonds, bending the molecule. As a result, the saturated fats "pack" together better than the bend unsaturated fats, allowing for stronger intermolecular interactions, increasing the melting point.
