Default dead battery

My buddy has a 93 accord. The problem we are having is the battery dies after is sits for a day we have already gone threw 3 batteries. After it sits for a day it won't start back up without a jump. Is something draining the power while its sitting?

Most definitly. Either that, or the battery is nothing more that a boat anchor.
Stop lights staying on?
Glove box lamp staying on?
There should be no power thru the fuses with the exception of the ecm fuse and that for the clock
I'd jump between the disconnected negative battery cable and the battery terminal with either a 12v test light or a multimeter and start pulling fuses (one at a time) 'till the light goes dim / off - that's the offending circuit.

Is the battery being charged correctly when the car is running? It might be a combination of not being charged + something drawing on it when the car is off.
