Default Electrical?

I am not a newbie, but I have a very basic question so I decided to post it here.

I have something drawing down my battery, and forget how to trouble shoot that. I have replaced the battery, and the starter. The car once jumped runs fine, take the negative lead off it still runs meaning the alternator is good.
Something is drawing down the battery, how do I find out what?

Are you 100% sure something is running your battery down?

Could it possible be some eroded cables somewhere?

If you are leaving ANY type of electronic on in the car after you take the keys out.... it could be anything. Can't remember but if your hatch was open, i could have sworn lights would stay on resulting in a dead battery.

Pretty sure. Nothing in the car is on. No hatch because this is not in my Camaro it is in my 93 Toyota Paseo beater car.
