yes alcohol acts as both bronsted acid and bronsted base. The conjugate base of alcohol is an alkoxide anion RO- which is a very strong base. So alcohol will act as bronsted acid and will donate H+ to water to to form alkoxide.

Due to presence of lone pair of electrons on oxygen atom, alcohols accept a proton which makes them Bronsted base and due to acidic hydogen they donate the proton to strong base which makes them Bronsted acid.
