Battery Draining overnight

I have this major situation with my BMW X5 2001. Almost getting sick & tired now!
I left my car parked overnight and through the next day. I tried to start the car in the evening and only got clicking noise. Obviously the battery seemed to be too weak to start the car.
Now I had it jumped with a lot of pain and at last started!
This is a brand new battery from Auto Zone, hardly a month old. I got the 850 CCA battery as per there manual.
Well another thing to note is the weather here in Chicago was very very cold last night. I am not sure if this caused the problem or some electrial system of mine draining the battery.
I only have a radar detector plugged in.
The alternator seems ok, after a few minutes of starting, I am able to start the car back on.
I am thinking of disabling the alarm system to see if this is draining the battery.
Any body have any other suggestion for this.
