My car is drawing from something. The battery is deader than a doornail and alternator is brand new. What ever it is drawing from shuts off and turns back on my mech just told me.

Tell your mechanic to go back to school, Just check to see if you have a failing battery or a battery that is going bad. If your battery and alternator is good and working properly, then you have an electrical short. Have a certified mechanic do a electrical diagnostic on your car.

There's just not enough info here to go on. Your lights are about the only thing strong enough to drain your battery. Unless there's some kind of electrical problem I'm guessing you've just got a bad battery.
