the lower members of alcohol are highly soluble in water but as the molecular weight increase the solubility decreases solubility of lower alcohol is due to hydrogen bonding

Hey !!
There is intermolecular hydrogen bonding in alcohol as well as in water. On mixing, the magnitude of attractive forces tends to decrease. Due to decrease in attractive forces, the solution shows positive deviations from ideal behaviour. As a result, the solution will have higher vapour pressure and lower boiling point as compared to that of pure water and pure alcohol separately.
Hope it helps you !!
