Sometimes there are coincidences, sometimes we knock things loose or break things, and sometimes stuff just happens. I would start with the last thing you fixed, changed, repaired, etc. and look for the problem

I replaced the left front headlight last Thursday, on Saturday the battery was dead. Charged and was fine Sunday and Monday. car died in the drive thru this am. Jumped it and will probably have to jump it to get home tonight. I put in a sylvania super bright twice the price bulb. $19 vs $9 for the cheap one.
Anyone think of a reason the new bulb would drain the battery? or just coincidence.
The alternator is a little over a year old.
The battery is 10 months old.
If the battery checks out ok at wally's, I guess I will take it in and have the mech check the alternator.
