There are two different answers to your question.
1. Alcoholics who appear sober are not usually sober. A person with an alcohol addiction has to keep a certain amount of the drug in his or her system in order to be able to function at all. Because of their higher tolerance to alcohol, they may in fact be carrying quite a snootful. Under those conditions, a couple more drinks may push them well into a state of obvious intoxication.
2. This can combine with the situation above. As alcoholics progress in their disease, their bodies begin to lose their ability to process alcohol efficiently. This can lead to the condition mentioned above occurring after very little intake above their "maintenance" dose.
One might add a third factor: alcoholics are people who, by their very nature, don't know the meaning of "enough." Given the kinds of drinks they tend to pour for themselves, or the doubles and triples served by knowing bartenders, they may well be partaking of a bit more of "The Creature" (as our Irish friends call it) than is obvious.
It depends on your age, gender, weight, tolerance, genetics, amount of alcohol in the drinks consumed, and experience. Sometimes nothing, other times the person is completely wasted.

How do you not get drunk fast but still drinking at a party but not sipping?
The key word is MODERATION. Nurse or sip drinks; don't gulp or "slam" them, and limit yourself to 1-2 drinks an hour. Alternate alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic ones (like water or soda). Don't drink on an empty stomach; starchy foods (like potato dishes) can help slow absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. Most importantly, allow yourself time to sober up before you get behind the wheel of a vehicle.
