How is the temperature change in an alcohol related to how storng the intermolecular forces are?

I don't know that there is a relationship. The intermolecular forces make a difference in the boiling point and freezing point but I don't believe they have anything to do with absorbing heat. If another tutor disagrees, I'm sure you will hear about it.
There is certainly a difference in thermal conductivity between liquids. Hydrogen bonded liquids (water, alcohols) have a larger thermal conductivity than a hydrocarbon for example. The liquids with lowest thermal conductivities are the freons which are used as refridgerants.
