Why do HCl, HNO3, etc. show acidic character in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like C2H5OH and glucose do not show acidic character?

HCl, HNO3, etc., ionise in the aqueous solution to produce H+ ions. Hence, they show acidic character. Compounds like C2H5OH and glucose do not ionise in the aqueous solution to give H+ ions, i.e., hydrogen present in them is non-ionisable. Hence, they do not show acidic character.
