Dry CCl4 is another great solvent, and will easily allow the observation of couplings in a dilute sample of methanol. I use dry pyridine-d5 with a number of sugars to demonstrate coupling through to alcohol protons, and then add a drop of D2O to make them disappear. Whether it can be applied for hydro carboxylic acids, phenolic hydroxyl groups, polyols such as trimethyl propane and substances containing aromatic groups have been activated for.

Choice of solvent is critical, and aprotic and nonpolar solvents, removed of any acidic impurities help to promote observation of coupling. ISO 4629-2:2016 specifies a titrimetric method for determining the hydroxyl value of resins, binders for paints and varnishes, primary alcohols, glycols and fats. S.Burt quite rightly points out that using a dry solvent will improve your chances of observing coupling. In a nutshell, a dilute sample of methanol in acetone will show splitting quite clearly at RT, but a concentrated sample does not. So, H-bonding is not the answer for whether coupling is observed - it is purely a factor to consider in determining whether active exchange pathways exist for chemical exchange. This is also explained by H-bonding mechanisms giving rise to stable dimers and higher order oligomers, which in fact undergo very fast signal averaging (exchange). Neat ethanol clearly shows this coupling at room temperature. The opposite could be argued for ethanol, and Shoolery (also in 1958) showed that higher concentrations of ethanol actually give rise to observation of coupling between alcohol and CH2. The original paper by Kivelson and Kivelson in 1958 clearly demonstrated that the observation of coupling in methanol was dependent on reduced concentrations which lower the probability of H-bonding. H-bonding may be a mechanism to reduce exchange at low temperature, however it is also a well-established mechanism that promotes exchange especially at higher concentrations. The important part in factoring whether coupling will be observed relates to whether there are any mechanisms that will promote or inhibit this exchange. Sutthira Sutthasupa reported the synthesis of amino acid-based norbornene block copolymer with ester and carboxyl. The reason that the coupling disappears is due to exchange processes. O’Reilly group synthesized the amino acid-based chiral amphiphilic block copolymers using RAFT technique, and elucidated its self-assembly into spherical micelles with optically active hydrophobic core. The loss of coupling in this instance is a classic example of exchange decoupling. There is much too much emphasis on H-bonding, and not enough about exchange in order to justify whether one observes coupling or not. This is provided as a comment as much as anything - but a lengthy one, in order to address some concerns I have with the accepted answer - not that it is entirely incorrect.
