Answer:The acidic character of a substance is due to the presence of hydrogen ions [H+(aq) ions] in its aqueous solution. ... The solution of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character because they do not ionize in water to produce hydrogen ions or any other ions in solution.

The Solution of alcohol do not show the acidic character:
1) If a solution is acidic, then it has the tendency to release the H⁺ Ions which show the acidic character in the aqueous solution.
2) The aqueous solution of alcohol (C₂H₅OH) won't release any H⁺ ions so that's why this does not show any acidic character.
