Does sound like a bad alternator. Very easy to check - take it to most auto parts places and they can tell you right away. It may be working, but not good enough to keep the battery charged.

Disconnect the battery while the car is running (use gloves!). If it dies, the alternator is bad.

You may have a draw (short) somewhere that is killing your battery, or you need a new battery. Have that checked too.
