First off try disconnecting the alternator then measure how much current is being drawn from the battery. This will tell you if it is the alternator, or some other parasitic draw from the vehicle.
If you work out that it is the alternator, by all means get it seen to.
If it is some sort of parasitic load from the body then try pulling the fuses one by one to work out what is causing the current draw.
