It does shorten the battery life ... it has only so many cycles before it dies, and on a short trip the battery doesn't get to fully recharged so that the damage is exaggerated.
You can reduce the problem by using a battery charger, but there are other problems with short trips: the engine doesn't get to warm up to "operating temperature" so there's excessive wear and corrosion of the engine.
