We have two molecules, CHOH and CHSH. Both of them have polar bonds, first between O and H and second between S and H. But only CHOH is liquid, because next to polar bond and dipole-dipole intermolecular forces it forms, it also forms strong hydrogen bonds, due to high electronegativity of oxygen that is connected to hydrogen.
