First verify that the battery is good, sometimes they fail early. Take it to any parts store and they can test it. Or you can buy a DIY tester for maybe $30... follow the directions, and disconnect the battery when you charge and test it.
If the battery is good, then get an ammeter to see how big the drain is... then start pulling fuses until you find one that gets rid of most of the drain. Up to about 50mA is probably normal drain, since the radio, alarm, etc always pulls a slight current.
If pulling fuses doesn't reduce the drain, then you may have an internal short in the alternator or starter, which have permanent hotwires to battery positive. You can check those by disconnecting the appropriate cables. *** Disconnect the battery before disconnecting hot battery cables, secure the loose end so it's not touchning anything, then reconnect the battery to check the current.
