How would you experimentally compare the hydrogen bonds of ethanol and glycerol?

In other words, how would you prove, using an experiment, that glycerol should have stronger hydrogen bonds than ethanol.

Find their boiling points. The alcohol with the higher boiling point will have stronger hydrogen bonds. This is true because it takes more thermal energy to force apart the molecules in the alcohol with the stronger intermolecular forces (e.g hydrogen bonds, London dispersion forces, etc.).
