Ciao,
alcohols contain -oH group unlike corbonyls thus they form hydrogen bonding in them so they have more boiling point than aldehydes and ketones .
it really hope that you will find it helpful

Both alcohols and acids involve intermolecular hydrogen bonding. But no intermolecular H - bonding occur in aldehydes and ketones.
Therefore, attractive forces in aldehydes and ketones are lesser/weaker than acids and alcohols. Hence, lesser energy is required to break the attractive forces in aldehydes and ketones and thus they have low boiling points(low boiling point = less energy to break the attractive forces).
