Both alcohols and phenols react with active metals like Na, K, Mg, Al, etc. to form their salts.
2 C6H5OH  +  2 Na ® 2C6H5ONa   +  H2
Phenol reacts with NaOH but not alcohol.

phenols r obtained through coal tar distillation durin their formation they react with sodiun to sodium hydroxide then carbon dioxide is passed to form carbonic acaid upon distillin this we get sodium

Yes definitely, they react with sodium because they are acidic in nature
