I have a new alternator and a new battery, and the battery is still draining. What now?

After you drive the car how long does it take to drain the battery? Check the radio, I have seen a battery drain from the memory in the radio or a relay stuck open. Check the interior light when you shut it off. I have drained a battery when I left the interior light on.
