Alternator???...again???

Last fall the hour digit on my sid clock went out (just the inner digit - 2,3,4... not the 1 in 10, 11, or 12) Just after that, the battery started draining overnight. Someone out here suggested that this was a sign of a alternator problem. In the spring, after many months of testing everything under the hood, I finally replaced the alternator (which was only a year old at the time) as well as both battery cables. Once it was installed, the hour digit came back on and the battery has held a charge religiously. Tonight when I went to start the car to run some errands, the hour digit was off. I threw on the meter and there was a slow battery drain again. For tonight I have put on the battery charger (on a trickle charge) so I can start the car in the morning, but I am real worried about this problem...especially after going through this nightmare last fall/winter. Any suggestions on what could be causing this would be greatly appreciated as it clearly is something else that is causing this problem.
Thanks,
Dave
