Well, depending on which narcotic it is(im assuming by narcotic you mean an opiate/morphine derivitave). A lot of opiates can be injected directly into the veins if they are water soluble(ie oxycodone hcl). Also, if water soluble can be snorted intranasally. And the most common method of ingestion is oral(ie popping a pill). This is usually how methadone is taken.

Technically speaking, yes. The liquid form of dihydrocodeinone (Hydrocodone) would be absorbed by the stomach faster and potentially more efficiently than the HCI counterpart.
