Most of the time a light is being left on and your not realizing it. Un hook your battery, charge it back up. Wait until its dark out side and hook your battery back up. Get in your car and shut the door. Look for any lights that may have been left on. One culprit could be the glove box light. I had a 1993 Cadi that the battery continued to drain on and I couldnt figure it out, until I found that that the switch that turns the light on and off as the glove door is shut was not operating properly. I just pulled the light bulb out the Glove box. I never went in there anyway and battery didnt drain anymore.
