Battery Drained - caused by piggyback?

I haven't driven my car much the past 3-4 weeks, and the battery died this Saturday. I found it unusual that within such a short period of time, the battery was able to almost fully drain itself. *Almost* because comfort access system still allowed me to get into the car. When I pressed the start button, it gave a bit of a chug before it gave up the ghost. My question is, because I have the Helix Attache on "full time hot" due to my comfort access, would it drain my battery in 2 weeks of total non-use? Prior to that, I would drive it once or twice a week, but only for short trips.

FYI, my Mini revived the Bimmer via jumper cables. The Mini had gone over a month without use and didn't have an issue starting.
