In alcohol O atom is sp3 hybridised.And bond angle between R and O is less than 109.28 degree because oxygen has two lone pairs in which repulsion is more hence it decreases the bond angle.
Repulsion varies in the order : Lone pair -lone pair > Bond pair -Line pair > bond pair bond pair.

24khanak:
can you elaborate more clearly and experimentally the roh angle is found to be 105° 30'
Okk listen oxygen can make two bonds normally and it has two lone pairs left so these lone pairs feel greter replulsion among themselves which reduces the bond angle
understood now?
yeah
thats better
Thank u
welcome
