If your battery is a few years old maybe it can't hold as much charge and it drains it quicker.
I just leave the alarm off if I'm not using the car and rely on the keyless entry for security.

They have been through multiple batteries at this point. Usually 3-4 days of no driving and it is sure to be dead. Sometimes less.
