I think the alternator is good, I think you have a short that is draining the battery when the car is off. Allot of people don't have the aptitude to test electrical circuits. Here is a easy way to find and hone down a short in a car. It is very simple to do.... copy and paste...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5FJDgcdii8
