So the terms are admitted to something questionable. With alcoholic function, you probably think she’s acting like an alcohol, right? And there is no free phenol in this connection either.

Thus, the blue OH group can be called “phenolic” (besides beinghaved in the phenol analogously to the OH group). Because of their direct contact with the ring, it behaves relatively acidic (i.e. rather a proton) compared to normal OH groups. The pink is such a thing. They behave like a normal OH group, i.e. rather basic. But I wouldn’t call them “alcoholic.” However, because of their position with respect to the aromatic ring, it is so to speak “oxidation-prone” that can be oxidized by air contact to the aldehyde.
