This is a way too general question considering there are 100's of anaestics. Also, different types. Some more specific info would help.
Mainly pure oxygen is used, but this is often used in conjunction with nitrous, which has some pain- relieving properties and lowers the amount of actual anasthetic used. The drug that keeps the patient under anasthetic is vaporized into the o2/n2 mixture and therefore is breathed in by the patient.

Anaesthetics are primarily metabolised in the liver, where enzymes break them down into less active or inactive metabolites. Some inhalational anaesthetics may also undergo some degree of metabolism in other tissues, including the lungs and kidneys. The specific pathways and extent of metabolism can vary depending on the type of anaesthetic used. Ultimately, the metabolites are excreted from the body, mainly through urine.
Inhalational anaesthetic substances are either volatile liquids or gases, usually delivered using an anaesthesia machine composing a mixture of oxygen, anaesthetics and ambient air, delivering it to the patient and monitoring patient and machine parameters. Liquid anaesthetics are vaporized in the machine. Many compounds have been used for inhalation anaesthesia, but only a few are still in widespread use. Desflurane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane are the volatile anaesthetics most widely used today. They are often combined with nitrous oxide. Older volatile anesthetics, such as halothane, enflurance and methoxyfluraneless are less popular. Researchers are also actively exploring the use of xenon as an anaesthetic. Injection anaesthetics are used for induction and maintenance of a state of unconsciousness. Anaesthetists prefer to use intravenous injections as they are faster, generally less painful and more reliable than intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. Among the most widely used drugs are: * Propofol * Etomidate * Barbiturates such as methohexital and thiopentone/ thiopental * Benzodiazepines such as midazolam and diazepam * Ketamine is used in the UK as "field anaesthesia", for instance at a road traffic incident, and is more frequently used in the operative setting in the US. The volatile anaesthetics are a class of general anaesthetic drugs composed of gasses and liquids which evaporate easily for administration by inhalation. All of these agents share the property of being quite hydrophobic (i.e., as liquids, they are not freely miscible with in water, and as gases they dissolve in oils better than in water).[information sourced and edited from Wikipedia "General Anaesthetic"]
