Alcohols are more acidic than alkynes. As for example take NH3 which is an alkyne, and check its acidity it will be lesser than an alcohol. so alcohol is more acidic.

Alcohol is ‘more acidic’ than alkyne.
Explanation:
- The fact is due to the electronegativity of the hydroxyl group.
- If a ‘strong base’ such as ‘sodium hydroxide’ is added to an alcohol it forms a salt and water. This is a characteristic of an acid where it reacts with a base to form salt and water.
- Generally alcohols are weaker acid as compared carboxylic acids. But it is a ‘stronger acid’ than alkynes.
