1. Would it be advisable if we don't go?
2. Would it be advisable that we don't go?
#1 is correct. Is #2 also acceptable?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

Hi,

I think probably (2) is just about acceptable but to be honest I would make the whole idea simpler by saying: Would it be advisable not to go?
