You have a short somewhere. Disconnect neg. lead from bat. Attach a ammeter between the disconnected cable and the positive battery terminal. If there is a draw (in amps), then something is draining power through a short.
Remove the cables from the alternator. Does the amp reading go down? If so, the alternator is internally shorting (very common). If not, remove each fuse in turn until you find the circuit that is drawing amperage.
