Suggest Remedy To Get Rid Of Bad Breath Due To Excessive Drinking

Hello, I have been drinking for just over ten years, a bottle to one and a half bottles of wine per day. I know I have liver problems, nauseous, lack of concentration, fever and chills and now have a strong odour coming from my breathe, from inside my body. Its very embarrasing because other people smell this when I stand near, and keep sniffing as though there is some sort of strange odour - well there is. Please advise.

You're probably NOT getting rid of it unless you quit drinking for a while. It could be due to liver disease, but frankly, that odor does not smell all that bad. Alternatively, the wine smell itself ages badly. Also, bad teeth, bad gums, bad sinuses and likely regurgitation of some stomach contents can all cause bad breath.
Stop alcohol and get a treatment program
Get a dental checkup
Consider a course of antibiotics.
Mouthwash, etc.
