Does Fast Boot Drain Battery?

Fastboot doesn't change the battery consumption when the phone is awake. What fastboot does is put the phone into a sleep mode(similar to closing the lid on a laptop) instead of shutting it off when you turn the phone off. That sleep mode consumes battery, but it is a very miniscule amount, just enough to keep the RAM from forgetting what is stored.
