How to prevent disclosing any internal management process during social activity?

When people have social activity with other company, closed friends, or wife, it is very difficult not to discuss what we are facing everyday in our business world, if we are careless, we might disclose any internal management process to outsider, that is threat to our business!

Does anyone have any suggested DON'T Do lists on this issue?

Thanks in advance for any suggestionsHow to prevent disclosing any internal management process during social activity?
Seriously, if you were working for me and you were making that kind of questions I would be VERY worried about you.How to prevent disclosing any internal management process during social activity?
Simply DON'T to talk about work, period. The less you talk, the better.

But if you can't do that then you should admit that you are not qualified to be trusted with sensitive and confidential information and you should quit or request a job with less responsibilities.

EDIT

"general guide lines"? Do not share "confidential" information.

If you can't tell what's confidential or not, then you have a problem.

EDIT

Business consultants are hired by your company and they are supposed to sign a confidentiality agreement and they'll have access only to relevant information to their consulting area, and in case of doubt you are supposed to get authorization from the administration. For example if Pepsi hires a safety consultant they talk about safety, they don't talk about their "secret formula." And even without a formal agreement the consultants are legally required not to engage in stealing trade-secrets. That's NOT a gray area.

As for the wife and friends: you can talk about general non-confidential matters but for sure you can't share confidential information. Also wives and friends have other friends that have other friends and in less than you think a "secret" can reach the competition (even faster if you wife and friends become your EX-wife and/or Ex-friends.) That's NOT a grey area.

As for the software used by the company I wouldn't share that either without authorization (easy job for a hacker to compromise security if they know what softwares the company is using.) If the company ask you to upgrade the system then you research about it. That's NOT a gray area.

It's commons sense: there are things you can talk about, and there are things you can't talk about. If you have a problem knowings the difference then ask your boss for a list (but you run the risk of getting fired for not being able to figure it out by yourself.)

EDIT

Unconscious disclosure??? Are you serious?

We go back to my original post: "The less you talk, the better." And there is nothing "gray" about that.

If you want a magic formula to cure a lack of common sense and discretion, then there is no such thing. Just remember that you are legally liable for whatever you disclose.
