Remove positive cable off of battery. Take a standard 12v test light. Hook gator clip to cable, then take light end and touch it back to positive post on battery. If test light lights up, up have a draw somewhere. Bare in mind, i have seen bad new batteries, starters ,and alternators.
Removing the hot wire from starter and alternator from each, one at a time, will eliminate whether they have shorted or not. Bad battery cables can also cause severe voltage drop. Especially when loaded.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
