Consider the power of resonance and the structures that interact with the hydroxyl group through it

electron withdrawing and the stability of products
alcohol is more alkaline isn't it
is it because you get a resonance hybrid with a carboxylic acid once you pull off the proton, or does that not have anything to do with it
