Default Will my alarm drain my battery even if the alarm is off

something is draining my battery.
i did a draw amp test with my multimeter.(0.08)
i pulled all the fuses it was still the same.
not until i unscrew the ignition fuse the multimeter read 0.00.
im thinking is the car alarm because is hook up to the ignition harness for power.
The car is a 2000 civic si

Unplug the alarm and see if the problem goes away, .08A is not very much, don't forget your clock has a memory as does your HU/radio and the ECU/ECM, pull the back-up fuse in the under hood fuse box, probably a 7.5A, see if that makes any diff. 94
