Those who drink every evening, is it normal for it to smell on the breath in the morning after the usual teeth cleaning, tongue scraping, mouth wash?

The people I've known who drink every night, the smell lingers. You can smell it though their skin. so I assume that on your breath is also quite typical.

Yes, I used to be a daily drunk

A life I never want to relive.

You can shower, brush your teeth. That smell is not going to leave.

The only way its going to leave if you quit drinking heavily or just quit drinking.

You might have a problem with it.

I been there

I'm not sure about breath - but I have had enough experience of raging alcoholics to know that it's smellable on their skin, too. Possibly through sweat... I'm not certain.
