Hydrogen bonding

London dispersion forces

Explanation:

The most pronounced and consequential intermolecular forces at play has to be hydrogen bonding due to the dipole created between the oxygen and hydrogen in the hydroxyl group. And then to a lesser extent there are very weak London dispersion forces that are always going to be there in between any two molecules of any species.
