There have been lots of posts on the subject of draining battery, like maybe a million, OK slight exaggeration, but if you search on "draining battery" I think you will find lots of posts, some of them quite lengthy with lots of ideas on what to check. This is definitely a recurring theme. Off the top of my head I remember a few of the many possible causes: Trunk light on all the time, bad voltage regulator, bad alternator diodes, aftermarket alarm, radio malfunction. There were others also. Give search a try.
