Default Battery Drain

Need some help! My battery (new) is draining to the point where it dosn't have enough juice to crank after about 3 days. I charge it up and the car starts and runs fine. If I use it consecutive days, everything is good but if it sits for more than 3 days its dead. I've checked all things that could have been left on (stereo, interior lights ect.) but can't find the culprit. Is there any way to trace a voltage drain? 3 days to dead seems excessive. Thanks in advance!

Clarks has a good write up on this problem and how to isolate the problem.

With a current meter connected to the battery, pull the car alarm then the relays and find the part that makes the current drop.
