Say,
R = alkyl
ROH performs as a Bronsted base
 
than R’ = aryl
R’ OH behaves as a Bronsted acid.

Explanation:

Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers. Of the two hydroxy organic compounds ROH and R'OH, the first one is basic and the other is acidic in behaviour. ... it shows basic behaviour whereas R' is an aryl group. It shows acidic behaviour (electron attracting).
