I think I know what you mean, but I am not certain. Could you elaborate please?
I also translated it as "...throughout the night".
That's what I thought of at first, but didn't enter it and used "during" instead. Technically, "through the night" and "during the night" mean different things. The former means "till the night is over", or "all night long", whereas the latter means "at some point during the night, but not necessarily all through the night". I'm not sure though if the same distinction exists in French.

Oh! I was under the impression that moderators work for duolingo for I see a green ring around your profile picture in the web version. Anyways, you have been great help and I want to thank you for always being there with the answers and helping us through the lessons.
I find it rather disappointing to see people assuming that it's referring to alcohol. I do drink during the night, because my son is demand fed, so I have a bottle of water on my nightstand. I know I'll probably be voted down for this comment, but not everything is referring to antisocial behaviour.

What is anti-social about drinking alcohol at night?
Not everything needs the reaction of moral panic.
