Alcohols are more soluble in water then amines because electronegativity of O is greater than that of N, and hence the alcohol molecule is more polar than amine molecule. So, -OH group of alcohol forms more stronger hydrogen bond with water then -NH group of amines.

Dear student 
alcohol would be more polar than an amine because oxygen is more electronegative. Carboxylic Acids are the most polar functional group because they can hydrogen bond extensively, they have a dipole moment and 2 electronegative atoms.
Good Luck
