Extra Credit to the First Commentor

A silly little company tweeted this to me and millions of others today. Identify the error and fix the sentence. 10 points on next vocab quiz to the victor:

Once Andre the Giant, in a hotel bar drank 127 beers and wasn't moved until he woke up after he passed out in the lobby because of his size.

    There should be a comma after "once" in the beginning of the sentence.

    There should be a comma after "once and a comma before "because".

    The error is that there should be a comma after bar in the phrase "in the bar". The corrected sentence should read as follows:

    Once Andre the Giant, in a hotel bar, drank 127 beers and wasn't moved until he woke up after he passed out in the lobby because of his size.

    Once, Andre the Giant, in a hotel bar, drank 127 beers and wasn't moved until he woke up, after he passed out in the lobby, because of his weight.

    -A comma after the words once and bar.

    Neil Philip - Round 2

    Since no one got it right, I figured I'd try again. Add a comma after moved, after lobby, and after bar.

    Once Andre the Giant, in a hotel bar, drank 127 beers and wasn't moved, until he woke up after he passed out in the lobby, because of his size.

    Once, Andre the Giant, in a hotel bar, drank 127 beers and wasn't moved, until he woke up after he passed out in the lobby; because of his size.
