It smells burnt when I open hood.the belt and alternator is hot to the touch.

What is your question?

It's charging. Is it a bearing in the alternator that's causing drag? Tell me what you think and how much?

Bearings most likely going out on the alternator pulley. Pull your belt off and try to spin your alternator pulley and check for tension or binding. Using the Estimator link at the top of page will be a big help.
