Battery drain, I think it's the alternator

Battery went dead the other day. Came out of work, and nothing. Jumped it, and it drove home fine. I let it sit for a few days and it was dead again. I changed the battery, and checked for a draw, it has one that goes away when I unplug the alternator. I have no accessories, not even a radio. I pulled all the fuses and it was still there. So before I change the alternator, should I look at something else? Also the alternator is charging. Thanks, Dean
