all digital radios have a constant power wire to keep the memory once the radio is switched off this should only draw a very small amount of current almost unreadable with an amp-meter well below one amp but anything over one amp or even close to it would be enough to drain your battery
you could have a faulty radio or else its a very bad make of radio
if you bought it new take it back and tell them your problem

Why is battery being drain after new alternator put on?
What else is in the system? Was the battery charged and tested when the new alternator was put in? A new alternator can blow out if it is trying to charge a "Bad" battery. Was it a new alternator that was tested by a shop? It is possible it is a factory defect. If it was done by a shop I would take it back to the shop. It is also possible that there is a wire off or grounding that is draining the system. Have you installed a stereo amplifier? Some amplifiers draw more current than the car can provide.
