Do alcohols give litmus test?

The litmus itself is a much stronger acid than the alcohol. Dissociation of the alcohol won't produce enough protons to shift the equilibrium between the two colored forms of the indicator, so you'll see no color change. Alcohol in water solution is not acidic enough to change the solution pH.

Here is the answer

When alcohol, though, reacts with very strong bases or very strong acidic solutions, it can act as an acid (giving out its H+) or a base (releasing its −OH−). But that's something very difficult to achieve and under very special conditions.

Alcohol is neither acidic nor basic under “normal” conditions (e.g. water). But in theory, it can actually behave as both depending on your reaction conditions.

no it can't give litmus test
